It's Fall...but still hot in October

October is always a fun and busy month. School and extra curricular activities are in full swing and even though the air is still warm in Texas, the idea of Fall is exciting and motivating. This October we enjoyed General Conference, celebrating Aunt Tara's birthday, working on school projects and playing with friends. We Walked for a Cure, had a sleepover with cousins and were proud when Ben was the Watchdog at school. Soon it was time to take down all the spooky decor and get ready for some real cool air to blow in.....goodbye October.

This is Halloween, This is Halloween....

It seems like every year I end up asking "When did Halloween become such a huge deal?" It is for sure one loved holiday around here and we did our best at celebrating all month long. The girls dressed as cosmetics this year, particularly Nail Polish and Lipstick and were as cute as ever. The girls visited a Rest Home with the Activity Days class and participated in a costume parade for the residents, we enjoyed a costume party at our friend the Martin's house and we hosted our first ever Day of the Dead Party with neighbors and friends. We loved eating Dinner in a Pumpkin at Grammies and the girls wore their spooky glow-in-the-dark pj's all month long. Happy Halloween 2016!
