October...

My computer is finally up and running again!!!! (Thanks to a neighbor who has worked tirelessly on it for weeks!) I uploaded my pictures from this last month and I think there were 477! So I will just choose some highlights to share of our very busy month of October. My pictures uploaded in a very random order again, but it gives you a idea of our fun events. We had a benefit race that Joseph did for our good friend, Christina who has Melanoma stage 4 cancer. This turned out to be a great event. We had nearly 300 runners, and many more who came to help and join in on the fun. Later that day, we had our first Halloween party, with Joseph's family. This is always a blast, with a friendly competition to see who has the best costumes. We were fast food characters. Joseph, the Burger King, I was the Wendy's girl, Ethan Ronald McDonald (he was also Indiana Jones for school and trick-or-treating), Alex was Colonel Sanders, and Tanner the Arby's oven mitt. We had fun coming up with these costumes, and I had fun making them! Some parts were a little tricky, but thank goodness for hot glue! We visited the local pumpkin patch, and picked out lots of fun pumpkins to decorate our front porch. We redecorated our bedroom, and painted an accent wall behind our bed. We had a week and a half of sickness, that swept through everyone except me. :( I think we picked up something nasty from the doctor's office at Tanner's well-child check up. We went to a Halloween carnival at my Mom's elementary school where she is the Librarian. We had lots of fun finishing up our season passes at Lagoon. This is our favorite time of year to enjoy the park. We had a Halloween party on the 30th with my family, with lots of fun games and food! The kids had fun trick-or-treating, despite the rainy weather. Most importantly, Tanner turned one this month, and I'll do a post about that next. We had a wonderful, crazy, busy month. I can't believe we're already full swing into the holiday season!!!
