October in Pictures

 Morning after Trunk or Treat breakfast of champions

 

 We love checking on the kids every night before we go to bed. They are so sweet and often sleep in funny positions.

 A big wind during a storm one night blew down the bird house in our back yard

 I participated in a weight loss/health challenge and as part of it I asked my Facebook friends to help me out with some extra exercise. For every "like" I did a squat and for every comment I did a burpee. I was sore, but happy I was able to do it afterwards! I was really happy that I was able to complete the weight loss part of the challenge too - I lost over 6% of my body weight!

A couple Saturdays ago some friends of mine and I planned a "MAN-date" and surprised our husbands with a fun day out. We all met up later for a dinner date night at our house. I am so happy we have such wonderful and fun friends!

Joy School Halloween party

 The girls each designed and cut out their own pumpkins. Benji was in bed because it was late and he was a little grumpy :)

 

 Halloween bento. You can't really see the black witch and bat and cat or the bat punched into her sandwich. It's so fun to do holiday lunches!

 Cute, big, first grader!

I loved this little bit of school work she brought home last week :)

We went to HP earlier this week and Ben's highlight was riding the motorcycle there, if you can't tell by his face ;) Too bad someone (ahem, Ruby...) drew on it before I could scan it in. This kid loves anything with wheels and a motor!

It sure has been a fun month!
