October 2015

 We had such a fun October!  Busy, but fun!
My month started with a trip to Canton with Tracy and her neighbor Sarah.  We got so much shopping done and have Christmas presents bought already!

A beautiful day for shopping!

We spent so much of October outside.  It was a pretty warm October but made for good soccer, swimming, biking and hiking weather.

Hiking at Mercer Arboretum

Brooklyn swam free and back at a year round meet for Spring Swim Team.  She had great times in 50 yd swims and her flip turns are so improved!  Very proud of her!

4 mile bike ride to the park across Louetta and back!  They did great!

In his 5th season of soccer and his skills are getting so much better!  Go Blue Blizzards!  He is learning to play positions great!  His favorite to positions are defender and goalie.  Mommy does not like him to play goalie but loves him playing defender.  He is very good at reading the other player and stopping him.

4th grade had a color run at school for our Fun Run!  It was tons of fun but boy was I covered.

Such a great memory for our kids

Ordered the Love Boat....lol!

Date night with friends for Laurie's birthday!  She is finally 35!

Lemm had their carnival in the fall instead of in the Spring!  It was great...hayride, beautiful decorations, grilled burgers, friends, and tons of fun!  Brooklyn was a 60's girl and Colson was Elvis Presley!

Halloween 2015 was a great time!  We went Trick or Treating with the kids as a 60's family.  We had Mimi and Poppi join us for the night and then they got to spend the night at their house.  We then headed to Philip's costume birthday party for the rest of the night.  Such a fun night!

Peace
