The month of October absolutely flew by! Not sure why, because we didn’t do anything major but it went fast! We had a lot of lazy weekends where we stayed in our jammies all day and cooked and relaxed! We had talked about taking a mini trip, but decided to just stay at home instead.
Ben and I celebrated our 9 year anniversary during October! Again, we didn’t do anything really, just relaxed at home. Katie and Joe took the kids for a couple of hours and we cooked a nice meal just the two of us, played Settlers and watched some TV. It was the perfect way to celebrate!
Mikayla is clearly very excited about our anniversary.
The most "active" we got for the month was the monthly Portuguese bacalhau dinner. The dinner was held at St. Philips this time so we spent last weekend helping set up and cook for it. We used it as an excuse to get the kids all dressed up looking cute! Mikayla had a blast playing with some of the kids who came that happened to be right around her age. She is not used to playing with same age peers, but rather kids who are older! So it was a nice change of pace for her.
Can you tell she dressed herself?
Halloween came and went, but we didn’t actually celebrate in October. The week of Halloween Ben and the sisters were both gone so we pushed it back some and will celebrate this weekend. I will try to post pictures of the kiddos and their costumes in a separate post.
Love her and her beautiful smile!
Early morning snuggles. Mikayla wakes up almost everyday asking us to bring Max in to snuggle with her.
