Tales from the Arabian Nights

 He was a good Sultan, and ruled a fair Kingdom with his Sultana, until she was enchanted by an evil sword and tried to kill her husband. He took it from her and was enchanted himself. He had her killed with the sword and married a different woman every night and had her be headed the next morning for years until he met Shaharazod.

 Shaharazod told him wonderful stories that all needed to be finished the next day so she kept her head for year by enticing the Sultan with another great story. Until she finally ran out of stories on the 1,001 day.

 As the enchanted sword called for her to be beheaded the Sultan had to fight the spell that had control over him and win the battle of good VS evil.

Shaharazod was prized with saving the kingdom and immortalized in the "Tales From the Arabian Nights"

Ei Ei oooooooooooooooo

 A trip the farm in the fall always seems appropriate. In other states it is probably because the nice crisp fall air has turned the apples and its picking time. In Arizona its because the temperature dropped below 100 and we want to stick our toe out side to see if it is safe! Ahhh Fall!

Don't get me wrong, It was nice to go and do something out doors, but we didn't buy any hot apple cider and fresh doughnuts. We had Icees and Ice water. 

 Caution: These animals might actually bite!

Seth and Paige love the animals and love hanging out at this farm with all the fun stuff to do. We had tractor races and corn maze fun. It was a good day and extra great that Dad was around to help us enjoy it!

Haloween 2013

It was a fun Halloween, We had multiple Halloween costumes per child, and Dad flew in for the festivities.
There were Halloween dances, Trunk or treat (which will go down as the lamest trunk or treat I ever attended), and a fun haunted house put on by the drama kids as well as tick or treating of course!

 

 

 

 

 

 Tori was a bee, as well as a creepy little demented little girl for the haunted house.

 The kids got a great loot and had fun trick or treating evening with cousin Luci. I am sorry we didn't get any pictures in her cute witch outfit, but what was fun was she said next year she wants to be bat girl because, and I quote " Cause you look so cool aunt Lena"

 Paige had some friends over for Trunk or treat. We were rather embarrassed at how poor the trunk or treat turned out. So sonic tots and

PHX Temple

Tori had late start at school so we decided to go check on the progress at the Temple.

 

 Just beautiful!

In our house birthday parties end at 16 so a few BFF's and a little cake was all we had, but it was still fun and she seemed to pass over into 17 well. Mean while I am ready to pass out! My second child is now 17..... AHH!
