Disneyyyy

I haven't posted for a while now and I had a little extra time on my hands today, so I decided to just do it and get it over with! A lot has happened since my last post so I don't know where to start.. hmm so first things first, I took my ACT test today. We will see how things worked out, I didn't prepare myself as much as I wanted to but hopefully I will still end up doing well.

To keep my blog more interesting I think I will separate my procrastinated posts so that they don't all come at once. No one wants to read a long, drawn out, never-ending story so I don't think I'll force that torture upon anyone.

To begin with, I will give a brief summary of our little family Disney trip.

At Disney we all had a pretty fun time. Our main reason to visit was to see the show of lights, so with that check-marked off our list of things to do, we were all pretty content with whatever else happened from there.

So many lights!

I couldn't stop myself from taking this picture. The flowers at Disney were all soooo nice!

Stephen was pretty cooperative the whole time until the end, which by then he was loud and clear about wanting to go home. But all in all, it was a good trip!!!

Too Early for Hot Chocolate?

I wrote this on Saturday, but never actually got to posting it:

Well, the leaves are changing color and the temperature is dropping. The chilly weather is coming, slowly but surely.. If only it snowed in Florida! It would be a lot more enjoyable if we were able to have some white powder or snowflakes to look at while defrosting our toes...  Anyways, it's always nice to have a little something to warm your insides; in this case, Hot Chocolate. :) I decided to try something new so I mixed a little nutella and whipped cream together for the top, and then sprinkled on some marshmallows.

Yum! I've spent the majority of my day taking the SAT and doing my research paper, but a nice mug of this will always make the day better. What do you like to put on your hot chocolate?

Happy Halloween!!!

Hey everyone!

Okay, so I know this post is a little late.. I've been studying like crazy for my SATs! I'm taking the test this Saturday, so all of my time has been towards doing practice problems and flipping through the pages of my study guide. Anyways, the family went to a ward trunk-or-treat party on Wednesday, which is a tradition our ward has kept up for a long time now. We also had a chili cook-out. All together we stocked up on plenty of candy and had a lot of fun!

Here are a couple of pictures with everyone's halloween costumes:

Mary and Stephen looking cute as always:

Summer's rocking the Halloween colors. 

I don'tknow if Stephen approves of the mohawk..

We also stopped by one of the rich neighborhoods in the area, and apparently it was a popular destination for a lot of people! There were tons of people - as in Disney World crowd size - and lines for every house. We asked someone in one of the houses who was giving out quarters, and he said that they bought $400 worth of candy... and they still ran out. I was helping my siblings most of the time, so I only actually asked for my own candy at one house. I guess they didn't think I really NEEDED any candy (I have put on a few pounds)... because I got a granola bar.

And you can't forget the best part about Halloween.. the sweets and treats.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
