Fall Fun

Oh, what do you do in the autumn time, when the weather is finally cool?

Do you like the climb trees?

Or ride bikes in the breeze?

Or go dig for worms outside?

Is that what you do? So do I!

(Well, okay, I don't exactly, but the kids do and admit it, you were singing right along, weren't you?)

A couple of other fun fall pictures to share. Yesterday and today we made and frosted Halloween sugar cookies (mmm!). Hannah & Courtney helped me frost today. (And seriously, they would have sat there and eaten ALL the leftover frosting -- of which there was a lot -- from the bowls if I had let them.)

Last night was the Fall piano recital for McKay & Hannah. Some of the kids were going to be in costume (from the other ward's Trunk-R-Treat which was held right before the recital), so I dressed the girls in their black Halloween outfits:

Hannah & McKay did great at the recital (Courtney and Hayley, not so much! It's hard to sit so still and quiet when you're little.). Hannah played a little piece from her lesson book called "Air" (she memorizes all of her songs after playing them only once or twice). McKay played the first part of "Fur Elise" (there was a little misunderstanding about what he would be doing so he hadn't practiced the whole song and we didn't even bring the second page).

Here they are with their teacher, Trina Belbin, after the recital. She is from New Zealand and is a wonderful pianist and singer as well.
