October in Pictures

I was pretty MIA in October. We were busy and having lots of fun ... so I didn't have a chance to sit down to write about what we were up to! I wish I had, because it would've been nicer ... and easier. But here we are in the middle of November, and I don't want any more time to roll on without filling you all in on our October adventures. Since a lot happened, I will post pictures and fill you in with captions and blurbs here and there.

Happy Fall!

We decorated for Fall, and I made this fun chalkboard sign. I am in love with chalkboards right now.

Out shopping for pieces to their Halloween costumes. They found these fun glasses, and they asked me to take their picture!

Fun with Halloween suckers!

They loved them!

8 months-old

What an adorable grin!

We can hands and knees it, but we're still learning to crawl!

Love that face!

She is so fancy!

Bright and happy!

The sunset one evening in October.

We spent every Friday evening and Sunday morning watching Colton play football. He had so much fun! We enjoyed watching him, too.

Here's Colton playing ... he loved it so much! We're going to sign him up again.

Colton and his football team ... The Browns.

Our little football player.

Watching Bubby play football.

We had Canadian Thanksgiving! It was delish, and the kids devoured the food.

Billy took me to the Lightning home opener game in the box for my 34th birthday. 

I had a great birthday! I got to get my hair done.

Billy surprised me with a massage at the spa.

My finished hair.

We visited the Harvester United Methodist Church for their annual Fall Pumpkin Patch with our MOMs Club. These girls are too cute!

My littlest dolly!

This girl!

All three of my lovelies.

Too much sun ... lots of squinty faces.

Hanging with our friend, Carson.

The whole crew! (Minus Tanner and Clark who weren't feeling photogenic.)

I love my kids so much! What a fun day!

That happy giggle! Love her!

We went to a fall festival at Colton's school ... they enjoyed the donut game.

Who doesn't love donuts!?!

Billy took Khloe to her first Daddy/Daughter date to a hockey game! She LOVED having Daddy all to herself. Don't they look so much alike? (And I don't mean their outfits!)

Silly girl at the game with her Daddy.

Daddy sent me this from the game ... let's hope it was just a cute photo and no real caffeine was consumed!

I hosted Kids in the Kitchen for our MOMs Club in October. We made these spiders! Super cute, easy, and fun!

Alice got to ride in a cart for the first time in October like a big girl. She loves it! They grow too quickly!

We had fun roasting marshmallows at Caleb and Elizabeth's! If it even gets cool ... we like to start a fire in the pit here in FL.

Allie discovered swinging ... she LOVES it!

Making silly pumpkins at Brian and Gwendy's house.

She wants to be just like big bro!

Beautiful baby girl in the bathtub ... just love that smile!

We went to the park, and the kids liked these scarecrows!

This was Colton's favorite.

Kings and Queens of the hill!

We went to our usual pumpkin patch ... Sweetfields Farms!

Watching the pigs.

Watching the pig races.

Hayride

Khloe wanted to help feed some goats. I have no idea who that man is helping her, but he was a nice guy.

Riding a pony!

Colton liked it, too!

Got to shoot the potato gun!

Duck races!

Gorgeous corn field.

Pumpkins!

I love my family!

My sweet dolly-girl

The kids' painted pumpkins.

I painted this one for Alice!

Watching her siblings riding bikes.

Colton learned to ride his bike!

Our MOMs Club friends ready for Trunk-o-Treat!

Made these treats to pass out at Trunk-o-Treat ... super cute!

Colton and his great buddy, Alexander. He moved away the weekend after this ... we miss him!

All of Koki's treats!

The cutest Despicable Me 2 trick-or-treaters!

Heinrich and Adams kids ... Despicable Me 2 and Paw Patrol

Cutest Gru! Those eyebrows!

My two dolly-girls!

Went to see Colton play football at practice after we had our party with MOMs Club.

This sweet baby always makes me smile!

Teething ... 

The kids have been doing great in swimming lessons ... this was one particular day when Colton was swimming, and Khloe was watching on the side with me and Alice. She started to get Allie giggling and giggling! It was awesome!

Funny and creepy!

We went to the Vikings v. Bucs game and stayed in box ... it was too hot in the outside seats!

Allie had fun!

I'm in a Vikings jersey, but I hated every minute of it!

Carving pumpkins with the ones I love!

Joy of pumpkin carving!

That smile melts my heart!

About to cut it open!

Peeking inside.

Taking a bite of the rind!

Big bite!

Then she got to touch it!

... and eat it.

She liked it!

Tasty!

Big kids ready to carve!

Pumpkin guts!

Ewwww!

Slimy hands!

Colton chose Angry Birds again ... same make, different model!

Of course, Khloe chose a Princess ... Cinderella is her fave!

Love them!

Alice didn't get to choose ... none of my kids did their first Halloween. I always carve their pumpkin with their name.

Our last time seeing Mr. Alexander. They are such good buddies!

Halloween! Those are my cute babies!

Adorableness

Okay ... for my Mom and anyone who has no idea who my kids are supposed to be. These are their cartoon counter-parts from Despicable Me 2. Perfect match!

That face! Those eyebrows! LOL

Out trick-or-treating with my kids ... Alice enjoyed her first Halloween!

Running from house to house!

All lit up on Halloween!

After Halloween, we headed up to the cabin ... and I already wrote my last blog about that trip! October may be over ... it's my favorite month of the year, so I'm a little sad, but we have a lot of fun coming up to write about. Looking forward to the holidays!
