October Activities

Lots of activities for October! Here we go!
On Friday, October 14th I had a girls night/Hocus Pocus party with Amanda, Janora and Elissa. We had soup, bread bowls, salad and dessert. Scott was home as well and he was so awesome and took care of the kids after dinner. He put them to bed and I felt bad as Jordan was having a really rough time going down. I sure appreciated what he did and that he let me have some time with my friends. We found out that Elissa had never seen the movie Hocus Pocus and so that made it extra fun to watch. I love having these gals live close by and I hope we do more girls nights soon.

Amanda made these awesome treats which look like the book from the movie.

On Saturday, October 22nd we were invited to a customer appreciation party from our realtor. It's been 4 years since she helped us buy our house and so it was nice to see her and talk with her again. It's impressive that she remembered the house that she bought us. We were able to take two pumpkins home for free as well as get some tiny apple cider donuts.

On Monday, the 24th we went to Jump Around Utah and carved pumpkins.

At the story time before Halloween, the kids were able to dress up in costume. The morning was crazy, so the kids didn't wear their actual costumes. They did a little trick or treat and then we tried to take some pictures in front of these photo backdrops. I like that we're doing story time again.

This one's my favorite. Kylie looks like a zombie coming out of the ground. Haha.

On Thursday, the 27th we had Scott's work party in the evening. Luckily Scott wasn't working that day so we were able to attend most of it. I made a chicken fajita soup that ended up winning the soup contest!! I was so excited that everyone loved it as it really is a delicious soup. There was a pinata and Kylie got so much candy! If she didn't care about trick or treating, she would've been fine with the amount she got there. It was fun.

We have Eeyore, Winnie the Pooh, Christopher Robin & Tigger

Scott and I were able to have a little date night and go bowling to celebrate Elissa's birthday. Scott's parents watched the kids and we had fun bowling. I did okay with normal bowling, but I did awful at crazy bowling (doing silly things like kick the ball, bowl w/ the opposite hand, etc.). I think I got my lowest score ever of 24!! Oh well, it was fun.

This crazy split happened!

Pumpkin cream cheese swirl muffins that Kylie helped me make.

Adorable.

We also picked carrots from our garden! They weren't super big, but they tasted fine and it was fun to see how many we got. It looks like carrots are one successful vegetable we can grow, so it will be on repeat for next year.
