October

Happy Halloween! The girls were skeletons (obviously) and Nate and I joined in their fun. Ivy totally got into trick or treating at Nate's school's party. She lunged out of her stroller at every stop to try to grab more candy. She'd pant and get super excited. Then she'd try to shove it all in her mouth, wrapper and all.



We went to our ward campout in October. Everything went well until bedtime. Ivy initially fell asleep in the tent, but woke up around 9pm and cried for 3+ hours! She was cold, confused and who knows what else. Nate walked her around for an hour, got her asleep, but as soon as he got back to the tent she was up crying. He did this twice and I did it once. Finally Nate wanted to put her in the truck and drive home. He put her in her carseat but the truck got stuck in the mud. We tried for awhile (12:30am) to get it out, but no luck. By this time Ivy had fallen fast asleep in her carseat, a nice familiar place. I spent the night in the truck with her and Nate and Lucy were in the tent. Longest night EVER. It was a lot of work for one night, but Lucy had a blast outdoors with the other kids.
