Brandon and Jennifer: Preschool Trunk-r-Treat

Preschool Trunk-r-Treat

Willie LOVES his Power Ranger costume!

Our friends gave it to us and after I washed it he said, "Thank you Mama! I'm so happy!"

I think his favorite part about it is his bulging muscles. Will noticed all the other super hero costumes with muscles too.

Teacher Andrea is singing Halloween songs with the preschool kids.

Andrea has 3 classes... we're all here today.

We walked in the parking lot for the trunk-r-treat and one car had the Thriller song playing, so Will and his friends started dancing.

"Trick or Treat?!"

I volunteered to help lead the kids around the parking lot. I had 4 boys in my group. They were all so sweet saying "thank you" to everyone who gave them candy.

Some moms decorated their trunks so cute.

All the kids said, "CHEESE!"

Will loved the trunk-r-treat. He is so lucky he gets to go to another one tomorrow. :)

Will got 4 tattoos at the trunk-r-treat and shared them with Emmy. Paisley didn't want one.

My Favorite Ensign Quotes

"I have found that implementing these five patterns-going to a private place to pray, kneeling, praying vocally, expressing gratitude, and praying for others-has helped me to pause and ponder on what I say in my prayers and has made the experience more meaningful. The Book of Mormon teaches other patterns of prayer as well, including being consistent and giving sufficient time to prayer and meditation. The Savior's prayers in the Book of Mormon include all of these five patterns."

-Patterns of Prayer in the Book of Mormon, October Ensign 2012

My thoughts: I want to make my own prayers more meaningful lately. As I read these patterns I could see what my prayers lacked. When I was pregnant it was very uncomfortable to kneel and pray, so I got in the habit of not kneeling. As President Thomas S. Monson stated, "Kneel to pray." I will follow his counsel and kneel to pray. I know praying vocally will help also.

"First on your "to do" list, put the word prayer. Most of the time, your prayers will be silent. You can think a prayer. You can always have a direct line of communication with your Father in Heaven. Do not allow the adversary to convince you that no one is listening on the other end. Your prayers are always heard. You are never alone!"

-How to Survive in Enemy Territory, October Ensign 2012

My thoughts: Half way through my day, I often realize that I haven't said a prayer yet. I'm so busy with kids and household chores that its hard to find quiet alone time to pause and kneel for a prayer. For some reason I've thought that that's what I must do for my prayers to be heard. I loved reading this quote by President Packer to set me straight! I can think a prayer and they will always be heard.
