October

Better late than never, I always say.  It's been a busy few months and we've had a lot going on.  Christian turned six in October.  We had so much fun celebrating.  He is into Ninja Turtles right now so I pulled off a Leonardo birthday cake.  It was no easy task for me.

School has been a lot of fun this year.  We are doing a Botany course right now and the kids are loving it. We went looking for seeds in October and learned all about the different types of plants there are, Vascular and Non-vascular etc.  We also took a trip to the Zoo.  That is always an enjoyable experience.

We decorated for fall, and made a halloween haunted mansion.  We had some doctor visits and found out that Aubrey needed glasses.  We also got to go see School House Rock at the Lerner Theater in Elkhart.  The kids really enjoyed that.  I was able to be a brides maid in my sisters wedding which was a wonderful experience and I was so happy to support her in such an incredible step in her life.

The girls are doing great in gymnastics and progressing little by little.  It's amazing to see how far they've come in such a short time.  I love watching them.

And lastly the kids got to go trick or treating this year.  It was so cold that not many doors were opened to us but we did get some candy and the kids were happy.

There was some sickness (colds, allergies, sinuses).  But we made it through and had an overall great October.
