A few highlights from October (aka - times I had my camera).............

I love that my kids are off school for half of October. It's perfect weather, and there's plenty to do. We started our track break with our annual trip to the favorite Pumpkin Patch.

They had a new and improved corn maze this year. It was bigger, with more turns, and much more fun for the kids now that they're a little older.

We took a little road trip to St. George to visit my family. My parents treated us to Tuacahn Theater. We love Tuacahn, and Little Mermaid was great.

The plays are so good that it's even safe to sit these two crazy kids next to each other and they'll behave.

We came home from St. George and had fun playing with friends at Planet Play - don't you love the glasses on Kylie's bff?

I had to include this because Kylie's face is hilarious. A little too much fun playing in the leaves?

Here is a normal one, so you can get that other one out of your head :) Kylie is starting to look a little too grown up for me though :(

We became a four-eyed family in October. All four of us now require glasses.

Soccer season ended at the end of October. Kylie was awesome as always. She only has spring season left to choose between gymnastics and soccer.......her schedule can no longer fit both.

Kylie and her friends making Halloween treats from Grandma. Love the rabbit ears.

This is what happens to Kylie anytime she has too much sugar. Seriously. Halloween is a scary time of year around here.

Matthew's class performed the 'Thriller' dance for all the parents. This is his best zombie face :)

See how much Matthew likes to have his picture taken? This is during the Halloween Parade at school. Me: "Hi Matthew! Smile!" as I try to catch a picture. Matthew: "mumble, mumble" as he waves his hand and continues looking the other way. You would never know from this picture what a mommy's-boy he really is. Whenever I don't have my camera pointed at him, he will run to hug me, yelling "Mommy!"

Kylie, on the other hand, cannot have her picture taken enough.

Here we are getting ready to Trick-or-Treat. Halloween night was fabulous - nice and warm. Matthew made it to the next street before bailing out. He is not a big fan of candy, so he gets bored after a few houses. Kylie and her friends however, were among the last ones out.
*If you are a Star Wars fan - yes that is a Boba Fet helmet with a Jenga Fet outfit. Matthew decided to be Jenga, but then at the last minute decided he liked the Boba helmet better. I was surprised by how many people knew he had both on......they all look the same to me!
