Our October started out pretty great. My parents were able to make it down and were our first official guests in the new house. My mom came down to help us move in, but this time we just got to enjoy having company instead of being busy moving. They were such a huge help. We got to put in a toilet (super exciting house owner stuff.) Mom helped stock up my cellar with lots of apple sauce and maple syrup. We got to be with my mom on her birthday for the first time in a really long time, which included yummy food and antique shopping. We love hosting and I'm so thankful they were able to make the trip down.
Really wish this wouldn't have come out blurry!
Jo really loved playing football with papa
After they left both kids were hit with some sort of virus. We got the call from school for Arya first. She was out for almost a week. Shortly after Casen caught it and Caleb not too long after that. It was a long few weeks so we're really hoping we saw the end of it.
Once everyone was feeling better, the kids got to participate in school spirit week and we also got to finally decorate some pumpkins. We did mini ones this year so they could do lots of different designs.
And last but not least, we of course celebrated Halloween. It's a favorite in our house. We got to go to our first trunk or treat in this county at the fair grounds. The kids got tons of candy! We got to finish the night at one of our favorite restaurants and I think we may make it a new Halloween tradition
It was 80 degrees on Halloween....just like my childhood :p
But we were right ahead of a big storm so it got super windy. The kids took full advantage and wanted a photo.
We're looking forward to November. We've been thoroughly enjoying football and now that it's cooled down a bit we've been having some family game nights on our new porch.
