October 2016

This year we a busy yet calm and fun month of October as a family.  With Nate being a student this time this year we have had to be careful with everything we do amongst our budget.

So to start off me and the littles took our doggy on a walk and played in the leaves and of course made some time to play at one of our favorite parks that is so close to our house.  We even got a few fun videos:

We had lots of nights filled with tickles and silliness:

Pumpkin pancakes and drank orange juice out of our pumpkin cups:

We played at our favorite pumpkin patch in Springville called Jakers.  They have a petting zoo and a corn pit and kids mazes and corn mazes and haunted houses and barrels of hay to climb and tractor ride and it is so much fun (minus the little bit of a drive from our current house here in American Fork)

Had yummy and greasy pizza at this little pizza shack in downtown Provo with Daddy for lunch:

 We canned our first ever home made applesauce which about 6 apples made 1 jar and we made 4 jars with a little left over to enjoy!  It did not disappoint and our kid and even me love it even more than store bought applesauce:

We had our ward trunk or treat.  Adey was Princess Daisy, Paisley was Princess Peach, Emery was toadette (but wouldn't wear the hat), Nate was Luigi and I was Mario.  We had yummy chili and passed out candy near our trunk (I wanted to sit by my friends) while Nate took the girls around to the other trunks:

Paisley's preschool had another field trip this month but this time to Cornbelly's in Lehi which is probably the only other time I will go (we went another time with friends and it was unbelievable over crowded and hard to do much and really have a good time).  We had a fun time but wish Nate and Adey could have came with us:

Then Adey's second grade class put on a little play that we all even Nate were able to attend.  She was little Red Riding Hood:

Adey was also friend of the week so we made her poster of all her favorite things:

Then we went back to Cornbelly's with some friends and did get to see 500 pounds of pumpkin drop and a tractor smash other pumpkins and watch a little play and spend some time in the corn pit:

We spent a lot of the month playing dress up so much and Emery also painted herself with lots of yogurt one morning before church:

Adey was Dorothy for her school dress up day/assembly (I wasn't able to attend this year though)

And on Halloween we were so busy that I didn't get any pictures.  But for a third year in a row we went up to Nate's brothers Robert's house to trick or treat with their kids.

And because I wanted pictures of my kids in their costumes so I had them dress up again to get pictures.  Paisley was a butterfly, Emery was a bumble bee and Adey was Mel from descendants which is one of her favorite movies:
