October Catch-up

All kinds of fun stuff to share from October...

With one of our favorite singers, Randall Goodgame, at a Slugs & Bugs concert! Super fun!!

We've enjoyed quite a few 1-on-1 "kid dates" this semester.... here's Emma being silly on her Jamba Juice date with Daddy

And again another night at U-swirl yogurt. I've had my share of kid-dates too just no pics at the moment :).

Fun with snow in Mesa at our church's Firefall festival. I was out of town but Chris & his brother took all 5 kids and had a blast! 

 

9-ball at Firefall....like 4-sqaure, but with 9 and you bounce the ball up overhead instead of on the ground.  Kids at church love it.

Yet another neighborhood play! This time they did "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!" Here's the wonderful cast, in parts of their costumes at least... :)

Pumpkin time...

 

Emma prepping the seeds for toasting, of course

Here's our entry for this year's pumpkin contest at the orthodontist.... hard to tell but it's a globe with famous landmarks, including the world-famous Garm/Mason Orthodontist! I guess they caught the humor, we won a prize for "Most Unique".  Good word for it! It was a family effort at least, and we had fun!

 

Aidan's class party on Halloween

 

 

Mickey & a kung-fu master

 

Neighbors ready to trick-or-treat!

 

My Girl Scouts ready to trick-or-treat for CANS not candy.... our annual Food Drive tradition shortly before Halloween.

 

And here's my girls packing shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child - they teamed up with another troop & filled 28, so it was really quite the "operation" to sort all those gifts.

 

Way to be givers, girls!
