October 2015

Wow, I am not doing ANY better about getting caught up!  I will make it a goal to get caught up by the end of January (assuming we have enough data left to upload pictures).

October is always such a fun month.  It is completely full of fun Autumn activities and Judd and Cindy come in to visit which is always highly anticipated and full of excitement.



There were lots of Friday night football games this Fall.  The kids loved going and I was happy that Ben was able to make it to all of them as well.

The first weekend of October was full.  We went to Farm Fest and we also went to a friend's 7th birthday party which was the kids first time playing put put.

The rabbit's were a big hit

The following weekend there was a Project Grad fundraiser that was a night "Glo" 5-K.  The kids did pretty well letting me push them in the stroller and Ben ran a good race and then came back to finish the walk with us.  It was a really good time and we will do it again!

The Fall is full of birthdays (Elissa and William in October; Margaret, Susannah, and Hattie in November).  We had dinner over at Clay and Elissa's to celebrate all of the fall birthdays.

Our nieces and nephew get to decide whether they want gifts from us for their birthdays or a day out doing some kind of activity.  The older kids have picked an activity the last couple of years.  William chose to go to the Discovery Center and to Chuck-E-Cheese.

Now it was time for Judd and Cindy to arrive.  They were able to be in during my week of parent teacher conferences which really helps us out.  Also, it enables me to have a full day off to do more fun things.  Typically we go to Spooktacular at the Zoo but due to renovations they did not have it this year.  We were still able to go to Rutledge Wilson Farm Park and paint/carve pumpkins.

 

   

  

  

Of course we can't forget Halloween.  The month concluded with a Halloween party at school, Trick or Treating at KSPR, and Trunk or Treat at Northside Christian Church.

A few more fun pictures:  Amelia, Margaret, and William with papa on the 4-wheeler and a trip to a HUGE sunflower field around Willard.

  

Now I know why I am so far behind.....we take too many pictures :).
