October

We started off October with a great movie night.  We've come to realize that in theory going to the movie theater sounds like a great idea, but then you get there and it's expensive, the people surrounding you aren't very polite, and kids need way too many potty breaks.

So a few times now we've set up a theater at our house as a complete surprise to the kids.  This time we went a little more all out .  (If you're ever looking to do a movie night...go to the Dollar Store!)

I started out by hiding clues around the backyard for them to collect all the tickets they'd need to purchase the actual movie tickets and all the goodies at the concession.  While they were busy outside searching for this, Caleb and I were able to set up the rest.

Painting pumpkins is always a must for October

We took the kids to a trunk or treat a few days before Halloween. I forgot to take pictures at the actual event, but I did get a few of their costumes.  We just recycled from years past while they still fit.

We went to Bass Pro for some shopping and the picture booth was empty since it was a weekday, so the kids got an unexpected picture with the Peanuts gang
