The Hazard Chronicles

Halloween night was lovely this year! I think we have been through it all on October 31st, but this year might be the weather winner! All of the kids had their own friends to hang out with, so Logan and I took our traditional walk around the neighborhood. I love the feel of Halloween! We had good conversation on a relaxing, quiet night... until the kids got home! It was perfect. 

Nailed it

Who comes up with these ideas??? Oh yeah. Maren. That girl is pretty awesome.

... And she rocked this suit from Amazon. Who does that? 💙

Lindsey was a Star Galaxy Princess (but she says a "celestial goddess"). She rocked the crown and the tights. I loved the homemade flavor of the costumes this year.

Jack won for the best candy haul photo. He didn't dress up this year, but his friends kidnapped him and they visited a handful of houses.

Ev had a few different parties with different groups, so two costumes were in order. Applejack is my new favorite My Little Pony! The cutie mark was lovingly made and shipped by Adalie. 

Can you guess which cartoon bunny Ev is in this one?

A few of us kicked off the night with our CDA tradition. I will take any excuse to walk down that street! I love Sherman.

Our other annual tradition. Side note- Just yesterday Logan and I took a 4 a.m. walk around a nearby golf course that we somehow recently discovered. Early morning/late night walks might become a thing.

Other Happenings:

"No retakes!" -Adalie
Fine- Maybe black and white will make it better? Either way, it shows we did a thing. Adalie and I headed to U of I for their Envision Day. We had a great time, and now Addy may be a little less stressed about not having her whole life planned out? I'm not sure, but we did go on some more cool tours. This time it was the College of Science (SO COOL what is going on at this R1 research facility), and the College of Natural Resources. So far I have taken four very different tours at the U of I. All of them definitely had a distinct feel. Universities are so cool!

Disc Golf. Yes. We did that. It was more fun than I expected, and we will definitely be back.

Many of our kids love to cook. Maybe this is because we are definitely an 'ingredients household' and not a 'snacks household.' It's do or die around here. This is a recent picture that Jack sent me.

Concerts:

This was the first concert where we saw Maren perform in the Women's Select Choir! I was impressed, and am looking forward to future concerts. I would listen to Maren sing all day long! Also, I am excited for good photo opportunities in the future as opposed to the ones we normally get (see below).

Yup. that's more like it. I was happy that they stood up so that I could see this lovely girl! The band performed exceptionally well. They even got kudos for this being the best Veterans Day concert to date!

Yup. That checks out too. I was able to go and see Lindsey for her Veterans Day assembly. She is in Titanium (audition choir) and she had a speaking part for this particular performance. The Star-Spangled Banner was fun to watch in sign language. They did pretty well!

Evelyn:

Meanwhile, Evelyn casually dropped us a video of her at a Houndmouth concert. Mic drop.

We were all a little bit jealous. She is living the life out in Boise.

"I'm LARPing productivity." -Ev.
Like I said, living the life.

Have a good week!
