The Patrickisims

#1 Never expect things to be easy.

#2 Leaving Katelynn or Abigail alone invites disaster.

#3 Never give up, never surrender.

#4 Even though life is what you make of it,there is only so much you can do with finite resources.

#5 You are only as sick as you let yourself believe.

#6 Just because you can do something, does not mean you should agree to do it. (Jed's new work motto) :-)

Happy Halloween





We had a fun filled day. First getting the girls dressed, it took me about a half hour to do Abigail's hair- she doesn't hold still very well. Then we went and visited Grammie and Aunt Tia at their schools. We carved our pumpkin, which is named Pumpkin Lucy this year, grabbed a quick bite to eat and headed out to gather candy. We first went to the ward Trunk or Treat where I stayed with the car and the Patrick's took the girls around. I was surprised when Abbie came back with more candy than Kate. Apparently Katie was a little picky with her choices of candy. Afterward we drove around to a couple friend's and Richie's parents. We tried to Trick or Treat on our own block, but no one was home. After putting the tired girls to be we finished off the day with making the traditional Rice Krispy Treats.
