October 2019

Well October came and went and we were so busy! I will let the pictures tell our story...

Carter still loves papa's army suit...

 Saturday 10/5 Carter sold popcorn for his troop...

 That was also conference weekend so we had our conference store...

 and yummy cinnamon rolls...

 At school they are not allowed to wear costumes so Aubrey had the idea to do a shirt costume with her friends.  They decided to be crayons and I helped her cut the vinyl.  She had all her friends over for a little crafting party to make their shirts and do a Halloween craft..

 They came out super cute

 October was Engineer month for cub scouts.  Carter had to make a design and then build it.  He did really good.

 I made this cute sign for our front yard.

In the craziness of October we found a house that we feel in love with on Bear Creek.  We even put an offer but when we were asked to go a little higher we didn't feel right so we didn't go through with it.  It was exciting though to get as far as we did.  I still do love the house!
