October 2018

I may be a bit biased, but October is my favorite month! I love cool mornings and pumpkin everything :) 

We started the month with another camping trip, we took the bus for an annual gathering of buses and it just worked out that was also the same weekend the campground was having fall festivities! 




I had a coupon and there was a great deal, so Rose got upgraded to a brand new sleeping bag...she didn't want to get out :)

When Rose did finally get up she made us breakfast!


October is my birthday month and we had a great family weekend with breakfast at Shady Maple, and then we tried Rose's first ropes course...which lasted about 15 minutes when she remembered she was afraid of heights...{sigh}.

We braved a bit of chilly weather to pick and paint pumpkins. Everyone said how the pumpkins didn't grow well this year due to the crazy summer weather, but we still found some good ones :)

Here's a sneak peak of who Rose decided to be for Halloween, can you guess?

And enjoyed some outside activities before we packed it in and warmed up!

And we ended the day at my favorite brewery Troegs. Go, you'll thank me!

Rose made Mommy a awesome birthday cake.


Rose lost her 2nd tooth and got quite the loot from the tooth fairy.



After several costume discussions Rose fell in love with wearing a wig and decided to be Ariel :) Justin and I got in on the fun and enjoyed several parties and trick-or-treating, we have enough candy to get us through to Easter :)



 We also did lots of things with pumpkins including making center pieces, Rose is pro with a hot glue gun in case anyone needs some help! My original plan was to make one together, but Rose was not sharing and made her own :)

and carving


When we weren't engaging in fall related activities we engaged in some other favorite activities like roller skating


And we adopted another cat...my great aunt needed to move into a nursing home and so her cat got a new home with us, what's one more :)
