October all at Once!

October has been a very busy month. We have had two boys playing soccer, one playing football, Young Womens, School fieldtrips and so much more and so I haven't had much time to post! I decided to post about some of the things that we have done all at onece. I was the slacker mom and forgot the camera on the school fieldtrip, so when I can copy some pictures from my friends, I'll post some! Grandma Bev always take all the grandkids to get pumpkins, but this year she was in Europe for the first few weeks of October, so the boys went to their Aunt Ash's and picked out some pumpkins. Max picked the perfect green one. He is hoping that it won't rot as fast as an orange one - we will see! When my mom got home, she took the kids to this neat pumpkin patch by our house. The boys always have fun going with their cousins.

Kennedie, Whit, Kaige and Grandma waiting for Max and Brayden to carry his monster pumpkin back to the cart, and Boo is just chillin' on a pumpkin waiting.

Josh and I were invited to a Murder Mystery Dinner Party - the theme was "80's Highschool Reunion" I want to thank my sister Jodee for the "expert" help on the costume and hair . I think that I looked like her in highschool! I have never had that much hair or have ever worn that much make-up needless to say, blue! I loved my sweater, especially the shoulder pads. It was fun seeing all our friends dressed up too !

If only I had a girl! Kaige liked to wear the 80's wig! I always have thought Kaige should have been my girl because he has beautiful hair, big blue eyes, killer lips and a great complexion.

I love to carve pumpkins, and this year it was the best ever because we were able to do it on the patio! The weather was so nice on Saturday, that we carved the pumpkins outside, and this made cleaning it up so much easier - no granite to scrape clean, no floors to mop and no yucky pumpkin smell in my house! Max was an expert immediately. He scraped out every seed in each of his pumpkins. His one was so tall that is reached clear to his shoulder. Kaige loved drawing the faces on, but as for cleaning out the seeds he hated it. Banks was more concerned about the stray cat that him and josh have been feeding-I guess it is probably our cat now. Anyhow, Max and I loved carving the pumpkins. It was so fun to see them design and carve their own pumpkins. They are quite interesting! Hopefully, I will be more on top of it and I will post Halloween Pictures before Thanksgiving!
