I love October. I love it because my birthday is in October, my favorite Holiday is in October, and my favorite time of year is fall. Every year the month of October is crazy and wonderful, and this year it did not disappoint.
Drake started the month off with a bang, literally. The first Sunday in October we showed up to church a few minutes late, and we were waiting to enter the chapel after the sacrament. Drake crawled head first into the glass door and split his eyebrow open. Drake and Dad spent church in the emergency room getting Drake glued shut. I think it makes him look tough.
Our next big October event was Bradley's third birthday. We went to Jump'in Jack's. Brad was in heaven climbing and jumping. After we tired everyone out we went to the Pizza factory for food, presents, and cup cakes. Brad was so happy with all of his new cars. I guess everyone got the memo on how much he likes them, because nearly every present had wheels. We are so lucky to have Brad in our family. He is so funny and smart. He loves HIS school, HIS sister, HIS cars, and HIS letter factory. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRAD!
Every October Pete and I host an Adult only murder mystery party at our house. We always have so much fun, and we hope that the crazy people who show up have fun too. This year was a little bit stressful with so many last minute cancellation, but it turned out as fun as ever. A special thanks goes out to all those who played roles, and who helped with food. We couldn't do it without you! It was so much fun that we are considering doing it again this year for New Years.
Halloween! I just love it. We had so much fun this year dressing the kids up. Autumn was a scarecrow, Brad was Lightning McQeen, and Drake was the cutest monkey ever. I sported my trusty cat costume, and trick or treated door to door with Autumn. We had so much fun in Beaver with cousins and Grandma and Grandpa. I guess now we can start planning for next year.
Good Bye October. I will miss you until next year. I guess now I better start thinking about Christmas.
