October and all that Fall Fun!

I am trying to update my blog monthly with all the happenings, but it seems we have so many happenings that it takes me forever to go through all my pictures and then write-ups, that I get behind! So, here goes for the month of October!

We started the month with a trip to Sea World's Halloween Spooktacular. We thought by going at the beginning of the month it wouldn't be crowded, ha! It was packed, but the girls had fun. KK even met Abby Cadabby, but is not comfortable with characters just yet.




Our next outing was to Green Meadows Farm. We love going here and I can't wait for Mady's class to go next year in kindergarten. I'll probably make Jacob chaperone, but I still love going with the family. KK even rode on the pony all by herself this year and she was so excited. We always end a trip to the farm with lunch at Mimi's Cafe!









Of course we had to visit the zoo for the Zoo Boo Bash. Not many pictures to take here since we go to the zoo quite a bit. But, we always end a zoo trip with lunch at Cracker Barrel. See a theme?



Since Mady's attending VPK right here at my school, I am fortunate to not only be a room rep, but also attend all the fun things they do during the school day. Her class had a fall party and I took a few pictures of the fun things they did like making acorns out of donut holes, decorating cookies, and playing pin the insect in the spider web.



And no Halloween is complete without a trip to the pumpkin patch. We found a really cute patch in Winter Springs and took the girls there to pick out a pumpkin to carve.






Then the big night of Trick or Treating came! We were invited to a driveway party at my friend Steph's house with a bunch of other families. We had dinner and then took the kids ToT'ing around the neighborhood. The cool thing is we were in Mimi's neighborhood so we got to stop by her house, which the kids loved! Mady dressed up as Peter Pan, which was absolutely adorable with her new haircut. KK was a UCF cheerleader since she didn't want to wear a Tinkerbell costume because it was itchy!

I have lots more to post on the month of October, including a trip to Sanibel to meet up with my best friend and a trip to the Magic Kingdom when we had a day off in the middle of the week! Stay tuned!
