The kids got to play in some left over leaves, harvest the last of the garden, and AJ and I decorated the exterior of the house.

We traveled to Arizona for Allison’s wedding. It was Alex’s first time in Phoenix. Brooke and Alex got to meet their new cousins Ian and Aaron and we all went to the aquarium together. I took the kids to the McCormick Train Park with Ammy, Papa, and Great Uncle Bobby. That night I joined Allison’s friends at her Bachelorette party. Friday we had a playdate with Jackie, Amy, and Ben at their neighborhood parks and house. Then we all got dressed up for the main event: The Worthington Wedding. Brooke and Alex did a good job in the wedding and had fun at the reception. We had a visit with Great Uncle Brad the next day before flying home.

We had an amazing time this Halloween! We started the day off with Brooke having her Halloween parade at school and a party at school. Alex’s teachers are the sweetest and even though he doesn’t go to school on Monday’s they told me to bring him to his class Halloween party today. Both kids had a great time at their school parties! This evening we went trick-or-treating in our new neighborhood. We had a lot of fun going to a bunch of houses and both kids had full buckets in less than an hour. It was also fun to watch our neighbors reactions to our costumes. Everyone loved the family costume including one dad told AJ ‘you win the night’ for his Big Bird costume. We were also very popular among tween girls getting a chorus of ‘oh soooo cute!’ Brooke and Alex got to enjoy a lot of their candy and shared openly with us, which was so sweet, we even had to start refusing as we were getting full. Afterwards we went back outside to our neighborhood’s other cul-de-sac for a bonfire and more playing and fun with friends.

Today was ‘parent watch day’ at Brooke’s ballet/tap dance class. Normally parents are restricted from the class to help encourage focus but we got a sneak peek of what they are working on for their December recital and a whole lot of dance cuteness!
