October

This is in no particular order....

Halloween

Below: kids dressed up for the porch crawl with our neighborhood.  K, A and I were Halloween-ed out on actual Halloween and they watched a movie downstairs while I read a book and gave candy to the 5 trick or treaters we had (there was a Royals game on). David took Mason out trick-or-treating for a little bit.

 My dad had an agricultural convention at the end of the month and he and my mom stayed with us for a few days.  Fun timing to get to do pumpkins and pizza/root-beer with dry ice for dinner!

 Our family costumes for our ward's trunk-or-treat.  

Mason's last soccer game!  He has sure enjoyed doing this.  His favorite part was getting goals.

David's parents and sister came to visit during October!  We did a Royal's playoff game, Worlds of Fun, a few museums, and just ate good food and spent time together.

 General Conference was the first weekend of October.  I didn't even try to have the kids watch on Saturday, but on Sunday I tried to have some fun games and treats during the sessions and it went okay!  I LOVED CONFERENCE--maybe I was just in a drought and really needed to hear some of those messages, or maybe I was just pregnant-emotional, but I really enjoyed listening/watching.

I am so grateful for our sweet neighbor's pets that my kids can enjoy!

Raking Leaves--a hit!  I had to rake one specifically for Kate, and M and A played in another one, haha.

One Friday Mason had school off so I took the kids to a pumpkin patch and we went on a hayride, saw some farm animals, played on tractors and in corn bins, and just had a great time.
