OCTOBER

 We have bucket lists and we are checking them off! This month was short and sweet.
 The Pumpkin patch- and it was well worth the long drive out of the city! We fed goats, ate corn and fried Oreos, played in the hay, played on the play ground, picked out pumpkins, and Finn got bit in the leg by a goose! Despite the fact that it was 85 degrees and I was completely bitter about it, we had a great time.
Then we took those pumpkins and carved the crap out of them :) Kylie and Zach came over and we ate homemade applesauce, spider Oreos, and at least tried to listen to Halloween music (turns out it's all pretty much terrible).
 I worked on our costumes and made Finn a little mad scientist jacket out of a men's button down shirt,then I fashioned some leather gloves and some goggles to finish it off and we were a family of freaks! Two Frankenstein monsters and the Mad Scientist that created us! We were set to go to Grant and Callie's Halloween party!
It was such a blast and all the detail work was amazing! Callie is a pro at throwing parties and at making costumes, this was their "Minion" costume and Finn was convinced that it was Muno from Yo Gabba Gabba and was starstruck all night!
 We finished the month off with some cupcake decorating and trick-or-treating with cousins. It was a fun year of Halloween with Finn, he was mesmerized by the idea of running around outside past his bed time, knocking on doors and getting candy from complete strangers!! (and I realized that this holiday is seriously weird...)

 Earlier in the month we had a party with my Boy Scouts and Finn quickly caught on to the doughnut on a string game :)
