This will probably be the longest, most pictures ever over board of a post but in an effort to get caught up it's just gotta be that way! Here we go!!
The first weekend in October we went to the pumpkin patch I already did a post about that but here are a couple pictures from my cell phone:
Pumpkin patch morning breakfast:
The first weekend was also conference weekend. The kids are so much more into it now. Aubrey even took notes and they loved to sing along with the choir. We did our conference store which is always a big hit with the kids.
Tuesday October 6th was a ceremony at girl scouts. It was the start of her Brownie year.
Thursday October 8th was Carter's Kindergarten field trip to Hunter Farms.
Carter, Anderson and Aaron. They are so cute together.
Scarlett and Carter they really like to play together too.
Carter's adorable class:
Roxy, Evan, Cord, Anderson, Lincoln, Aaron, Victoria, Gabby, Ian, Carter, Scarlett, Maren and Maddox.
This picture has Mrs. Mary and Mrs. Allen with the kids.
I'm so happy that Carter is at Sonshine it has just been so awesome. The kids are all adorable, the teachers are so loving and I'm getting to know all the moms. I have been getting closer to some of the moms. We have had a play date, a Starbucks date and a grown up party with the husbands. I'm really happy we are there and getting to meet some new families. I also love my afternoons with my buddy before we pick sister up.
After the field trip we went out to lunch.
We love our art time together.
Friday October 9th we went out to the bay area to visit Grandma and Grandpa. Friday night we had pizza, played games and watched a movie. Saturday we all went to the movies. The kids had already seen Hotel Transylvania 2 with Nana but really wanted to see it again so that's where we went.
On our way back to Merced we stopped at the outlets and had a yummy yogurt treat.
Once we got home it was time to pack and get ready for Disneyland.
The day before we left for Disneyland was Carer's picture day.
The kids school pictures came out so adorable:
Tuesday 10/13 was Aubrey's last day of art class. She has been going 2 days a week and just loved it! We will for sure sign up again. I was so impressed with all they did. I can't wait to get frames and have her art work on the wall.
Monday October 19th was red day:
Tuesday the 20th purple day:
Wednesday 21st was green day:
Thursday the 22nd orange day:
and Friday was blue day and I forgot to get a picture. With our afternoons off we did lots of crafts:
and played a lot.
One day I had the idea to walk and pick Carter up from school so I carried the scooter and his helmet and walked all the way there. I was excited to walk back with my little guy. He was very excited at first too.
Then reality hit and he was not a happy camper. I think it's like a 2 mile walk.
At one point I told him next time I will bring his bike and with an angry voice he answered, " How about next time you bring the car!" lol I guess I have to run and walk with him more to get him to love it more. He use to love walks but with the hot summer we got out of our routine.
On 10/21 there was an honor flight coming from Washington DC to Castle airport with veiterins on it. We went to support our troops.
Thursday 10/22 was Light up the Night in downtown Merced. Its basically a Halloween festivale. It was fun for the kids to wear their halloween costumes and play games.
After that we headed over to Chipotle for dinner the kids were so excited to get free chips because they were in the costumes.
Saturday 10/24 we did errands and then picked up Kendall for the zoo boo that night.
Kids pick for dinner:
Sunday we went to church and then came home and did lots of Halloween crafts. My mom got us the cutest book it's called Room on the Broom. I looked around on pinterest ans sure enough found a silhouette of the witch so I cut some on my cricut and the kids and I had fun making crafts. We were having so much fun and loved the book so much I called bot the kids teachers and arranged for me to come in to their classes to read the story and to do a craft with them all the following week.
Also on Sunday we did some community service and cleaned up our neighborhood.
Sunday night was our Halloween dinner since I knew the week ahead would be crazy. We made mummy loaf, monster potatoes, green bean worms, Frankenstein hearts and ghost bananas.
Halloween week was another spirit week at school. Monday was yellow day and I didn't get any pictures :( Tuesday was hat day.
The kids are still loving their bubble guns.
Wednesday 10/28 was crazy hair and sock day. This was also the day that I did the story and craft in both classes.
In Carter's class we made hand print witches.
In Aubrey's we made Halloween lanterns with the silhouettes.
The kids just loved it and were all hugging me like crazy. It was really fun I work my witch hat to read the story and then they all got to create their own Halloween jar. I was so happy that both teachers let me do this in their classes that day.
That night we made mummy pizza's and carved our pumpkins.
We really love this activity!!
The kids got really into this year.
We had fun playing with the camera after. Carter looks like a ghost.
I don't remember which day but I did Aubrey's Halloween nails.
Thursday 10/29 the kids and I worked on their class room gifts.
That night was witch's night out.
Friday 10/30 was both kids Halloween parties at school. Carter got to wear his costume Aubrey got to wear orange and black. Her class was having a camping party so they got to bring sleeping bags and pillows.
That was a busy day for me. First party was at Peterson with Aubrey.
It was so much fun and a great idea. The kids got to make smores, hear a camp story, do leaf rubbing art, and go fishing. I was helping at the smore station.
Alajah and Aubrey were matching that day.
Alexia and Aubrey had matching pillows.
The kids all looked so cute having a slumber party. Aubrey's class was the only classroom that got to do this. Mrs. Haar told them fun stories and then I said my good byes and they had lunch and then watched Wizard of Oz.
Then it was off to Carter's party. First they played bingo, then they did a craft.
Next was the donut game.
Then pin the nose on the pumpkin.
Last was the potluck. These are what we brought:
The Halloween lunch was adorable.
After we ate we just played with friends.
This cookie was so cute from Scarlett
By the time we got home we were all pretty tired so we hung out at home having a pizza and Lego night.
By the time the real Halloween finally arrived we were pretty Halloweened out! lol It was fun that it was on a Saturday this year. The first part of the day we just relaxed at home. Then we went and had an early dinner at Sizzler and then to Trunk or Treat at the church. The kids loved Wendy Spencer's car the most. They got to pick a treat or trick they both picked tricks and got rocks in their pumpkins. It was pretty funny and a good idea.
Carter and Alex
After Trunk or Treat we headed out for some trick or treating door to door style. The kids loved it. Some of the houses were really awesome. The kids loved on house that we went to because the got a glow in the dark wand. Made me think that you don't always just have to pass out candy.
We got enough candy to last us a while.
Well there you go that was our October 2015! What a great, busy, exciting, fun month!
