Halloween cookies

Today we had fun decorating Halloween cookies.  I'll admit that I bought the kit from Superquinn. The kids had a great time. How could they not.cookies, icing  and sweets.   I'm really not sure about that black icing though, it dyed everything it touched, fingers, tongues, teeth.

Football Football Football

As soon as I started going out with Ian I knew that football was going to be a big part of my life. It is his greatest love (apart from me and the kids....and the gospel etc, you know what I mean)
Anyway almost as soon as Andrey could walk he was kicking a ball and finally this year he has started to play football competitively. He is in the Corduff football club under 7's . Training is Mondays and Wednesdays with matches every Saturday morning.
Andrey totally loves it. He's not the best player on the field but he's good natured and does his best. He never complains when he's substituted off and is always encouraging to his team mates. So far his team are doing pretty well and have won 3 out of 4 matches.

General Conference

I thought that this year it was time that my kids started to watch general conference. I planned treats an activities and even put up the tent so we could 'place the door of the tent towards the tower (computer).
Due to the time difference the Saturday morning session started at 5pm. It went ok for a while but after about a hour it descended into mayhem.
Sunday was better. I had less treats and activities and it worked better somehow.

Anyway. I guess we're just making habits. Eventually they will listen and learn something.
