October Wrap-Up

We've had another fun and busy month around here!

We explored the "new" play area at the mall. It was all the same stuff, but in a storefront that off the beaten path in a corner of the mall, perfect for playing!


We went to our friend, Bennett's birthday party. It was a gorgeous October day and we played outside in the jumphouse and on the playground and worked up an appetite before enjoying some amazing homemade chocolate cupcakes!







Charlotte and Madeleine got in some extra snuggles before Madeleine left for school one morning.

Harrison and I made caramel corn to take on our trip. He tasted the air-popped popcorn and decided that caramel corn is "yucky;" he wouldn't even taste it after it had all the yummy caramel on it!



We made Halloween cookies and decorated them with icing -- then we took them on our trip to LR to share with our families. :)





Harrison being silly one day -- he had all sorts of "stuff" stuck in his undies and rigged them up to hold up a bucket. Not sure what the purpose was, but it made me laugh!

Charlotte found her a new spot to sit and eat in the kitchen. She loooves the lazy-susan and is constantly playing in it.

We painted and carved pumpkins. Madeleine chose a kitty face for her pumpkin which turned out adorable -- definitely doing it again! Harrison chose "angry birds" which turned out....interesting. But, he was happy with it and that's what counts. Matt better start working on his carving stamina because next year he'll probably have to carve 3 pumpkins!



We made cupcakes on Halloween, as if we needed more sweets. Next year, I'm thinking we'll try the "halloween fairy" to help rid us of our sweets.

Harrison made a silly spider had at preschool that he's worn until it just wore out!

That's most of our October fun not including Trick-or-Treating which is a post all of it's own.
