The month of October is coming to an end, which means all those Harvest Festivals and Halloween related things will soon be over. There should be at least a few weeks of calm (weekends) before the storm, aka: Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Christmas!
To start off the weekend, we hosted a little family get together, jump house and all for the kiddos. So happy that it rained on Sunday and not Saturday. It's so much easier having six children run around in the backyard versus running around in the house.
New strategy: have the kids stay outside as long as possible
We also had a "baby mister or baby sister" poll
Hard to tell with this pic, but it was a baby sister
I was so sure that the human growing in my belly was a boy that I hadn't even thought of the possibility of it being a girl. When I saw all the pink frosting inside, I was quite shocked. Lucas was shocked and sad, he broke down for a few minutes. So now, this human has become more real. And our party of five will probably be here before we know it!
On Sunday, we went to Bass Pro Shops to go trick or treating with some friends. I'm feeling quite ambitious tomorrow and am planning on going to the mall with the kids then neighborhood trick or treating. Why does Halloween have to be on a Monday this year?!
You can never get four kids to look at the camera and smile
This was my first year carving a pumpkin. I just never knew how to do it... after tonight's fiasco, I think I'll just stick with cooking. On the left should've been Hello Kitty, see the resemblance? When Charlotte saw what I did to her pumpkin, she burst out the water works in an instant! Dad had to save the day by drilling a smaller HK. I now have a newfound respect for all pumpkin carvers out there.
This display won't be up for long!
So that's the weekend and all the excitement there.
