I never quite know what to say on veterans day except

Thank you.

October

When Caleb and I have days off together we take full advantage of them!  We usually head to the gym in the morning and on our way find some sort of day date.  We've really been enjoying finding new Japanese restaurants to frequent, however my entrees come a little more cooked.

We got a little Halloween cookie decorating kit and the kids had a fun night of it.

Both the kids teachers keep a weekly blog of all they've been up to.  Jo's teacher doesn't put up quite as many pictures as Aryas.  She posted this one of Arya enjoying the playground :)

And Caleb came home from work one morning with these super pretty flowers

It's sort of become a tradition around here i've realized, even though i'm not even sure on purpose, that Caleb brings home donuts from our favorite favorite donut shop the morning of Halloween.  It was too early for pictures, but they loved having donuts with bats and candy corn on them!

And lastly, Caleb had to work the day before and of Halloween this year so trick or treating wasn't really an option.  So we decided to make the best of it, because if you know us at all, you know our families love for Halloween!  So we got the kids some pj "costumes" and set up a big scavenger hunt around the house for them to find a bunch of candy and prizes.  They said they loved it just as much as going out.
