OUR OCTOBERFEST

We have been pretty busy lately and that's why I call it OUR Octoberfest. For many reasons, I do have to say that October is one of my favorite months. I love:

The way our back yard looks in the fall,

the smell of a Pumpkin Spice candle, conference and my all time favorite about this month is

HALLOWEEN

I absolutely love Halloween! Is there anyone else that loves it as much as I? My Mom always has a Halloween Party and costumes were mandatory this year. Since Ethan LOVES Buzz Lightyear We decided to dress that Part.

This Halloween has been the most fun with Ethan. He masters saying Trick or Treat, Happy Halloween and putting candy in his bucket.

He even got to fish at the fish pond.

Ethan also helped carve our pumpkin this year

At my Mom's party we had dinner in a pumpkin, had a costume parade, pumpkin carving contest and had a cake walk.

My Sister dressed up as Herminoe from Harry Potter and carved H & P For Harry Potter.

Usually I make sugar cookies for Halloween, and this year I decided to make Cupcakes.

I must have made a bazillion cupcakes. I made them for snack time at play group, I made them for Spooking our Neighbors and I made them for a Halloween party.

We even snuck in a fantastic date night. We were invited to both of our first Murder Mystery Dinner. We were given the parts of Punky Brewster and Scott Howard from Teen Wolf.

We pulled our costumes together and brushed up on our characters. Punky Power and Holy Macanolli. We had a great time getting to know the people there and acting as our characters.

Today I am thankful that Ethan did not get scared of people dressed in scary costumes.
