All Hallows Eve.

Any trip to town in October has Grounds for dressing up. Usually I was accompanied by a gang of Superheros.  We went to a new Pumpkin patch in Jerome. PUNKYNLand.  Free bounce house, straw maze and petting zoo.  We got creative with our Jack-0-Lanterns.  Katana wanted scary.  Axel wanted a zombie and  Mace just wanted "mine".

Katana's class had a Halloween party.  Only Kindergarten got to dress up and there was not parade or anything. The Party was 4 centers with little games or treats.  It was 20 min at the end of the day but the kids had fun.  That night we got dressed up for the ward Trunk-or-Treat.  We took are little horse trailer with some sheets tied up like a haunted house.  Not really scary since it was still light out. Preston banged on the walls to frighten them and it was still a hit.  Then we took the 4-wheeler and trailer around town.  The kids didn't get tired since we didn't walk and we hit several more houses.   Great Haul.  4-5 normal size candy bars, play dough and pencils plus 3 very  full buckets of candy.  We went as Beauty and the Beast and Nailed IT.  

OH October

Miracle kitten story:  Girl had kittens but we didn't find them until it was too late. She ran off or got killed and by the time I found them they were all dead behind the shelf in the shed.  The kids and I had looked everywhere. and been praying to find them.  A Real blow. Two days later I hear Meowing. We found one Under the house.  The kids were so excited. I ran to town and bought an actual kitten bottle.  We did what we could but it didn't last the week.  I call it a miracle because for the few days it lived it was well loved,.

  Harvest time. good haul on nuts. Leaves Ug.  raking not so fun.  Kids jumping in them --worth it. 

Fall activities now include school . Katana is loving Kindergarten. She comes home every day with some new project they did, Letter explored or song learned.  We celebrated Preston's 31st b-day. Better than sex cake later to be proven highly over rated. :)  Happy Fall.
