October

October was a fun and busy month for us. We did a lot of things. Sometimes it felt as though we had something to do or attend every night. But that is what made it fun and exciting. And, of course, there was Halloween. What’s not to love about Halloween? The costumes—this was a little tricky for my children. They each (except for Emerson who was oblivious to it all), changed their minds about three or four times, so we had to make a lot of trips to look and return. But in the end, they were pretty happy with their choices—Maleficent, a skeleton, and a skeleton ballerina (Hudson wanted Emerson to match him so bad, so I gave in. But I added a little girly flair with the tutu). It was all so much fun. And then there was also the pumpkin patch. My kids had so much fun running around playing, swinging, jumping, getting lost in the corn maze, eating mini doughnuts, and talking with friends. October really was a fun month, and we loved every minute of it.
