After our travels to Florida in the beginning on the month, the rest of October flew by. Before we knew it, it was Halloween!
So pretty as the sun was setting
This girl LOVEs to draw and color and is good at it! Her is her Elsa and Anna pictures she did all by herself.
Cole helping me grocery shop and pretending these sausages were hand weights while we were waiting for our deli meat.
It has been an unseasonably warm October - and we are not complaining!!
Happy beach boy
The forestation hosted their annual open house the second weekend in October. Last year it was raining and this year was about 90 degrees. We still had a ton of fun!
Car demolish demonstration
Kids inside the smoke trailer - teaching them how to stay low and roll if the room is filled with smoke
The line for face painting was ridiculously long and was moving SO. SLOW. We told the kids once we got home daddy would paint their faces with whatever they wanted - SOLD!
Cole chose Leaonardo.
Sydney chose and Elsa crown.
Our neighbor and friend, Mr. Todd, dropped off this dirt and asked the kids to watch it for him while he was out of town. Slowly but surely, we saw cocoons appear and two moths appeared! Incredible for the kids (and parents!) to see.

Decorating sugar cookies
Sea World day!
Cole normally just watches Sydney touch the sharks but he finally worked up the courage and touched them. Now, you can't stop it. He loves it! It's been fun to watch them grow in their confidence with the animals.
I told Lindsay that I had a costume I could send out for Finn's first Halloween that Cole wore for his first Halloween, Of course the second I take it out, Cole is obsessed with it and cannot part with it (he hasn't seen it in 3 years!!). So, he had to try it on one last time before it was sent to New York.
Painting pumpkins
She drew this in the sand. Heart her.
