This is the place - Little Haunts

What a SPOOKTACULAR month

What a fun month! I love the month of October. Although the weather is still definitely starting to change it is still fairly warm and there are so many fun things to do with the kids. We started our off track string of adventures with a trip to the "This is the place monument" Halloween little haunts. The kids all dressed up. They trick-o-treated, made pioneer crafts and went on a couple train rides. That same night (I know I'm crazy) we went to a pumpkin patch where they watched the movie "Great pumpkin Charley Brown". They had hot chocolate and hay rides.

Next we headed to Lagoon for Joshua's birthday. We had a great time. We went with my cousin Lori and her cute family and my brother Stephen and his crew. After going on a couple rides I realized I am definitely getting older. On calm little Jet star II I cracked my neck and peed my pants a little (keep in mind I just had a baby). Regardless it was a fun night and Josh was happy.

I live in this fun cul-de-sac. If you can believe it there are 20 kids and 12 of them are crazy really energetic boys. On Halloween we had a little block party. First the families got together to carve pumpkins and played games. After trick-o-treating we got back together for fun Halloween music, chatting and of course Hot Cocoa. We even had some fireworks! They were just left over from the 4th but it made the night seem extra special. The weather was great and the kids had a blast. Here are a few pics of our fun month!

Way to go Zach!

At Willow Springs Elementary they give out a Wildcat award. It is very prestigious award. Each teacher only gives out 2 for the whole school year. Last year Zachary, Whitney and Micah where all awarded wildcats. We are so proud of all of them. This last month Zach was awarded the Wildcat award again for this year. Way to go Zach we are so excited for you! Zach is a great kid. He does great in school and he is always a good friend and a teachers dream. Not realizing that he won't be in school or at Willow Springs forever, Zach said that his goal is to turn 40 years old and to have 40 wildcat awards hanging on his wall. Keep up the good work buddy.
