October Fun

The last 2 weeks have been full of all of the fun things of October. 2 weeks ago we went on a field trip with preschool to Hillcrest Pumpkin Patch. The kids learned about how pumpkins grew, went on a hayride, and were able to bring home their very own pumpkin. Then, there was the ward Halloween Party. The kids loved dressing up and playing all of the carnival games. I couldn't remember why we had not gone the previous year. Then it dawned on me--I had just had a baby.

Last Thursday, we had our Halloween party at preschool. They decorated pumpkins and trick or treat bags and went trick-or-treating to all the nearby businesses. Then, we played a couple of games and ate all of the yummy goodies that every one had brought. It was also a happy day for me because it was my last day of teaching at the preschool. I just have 8 more weeks of aiding left for the year:)On Halloween, we went to Heidi and Dave's for our annual nachos and goodies, then we were off to trick-or- treat with every one. It was fun having my parents there too. The triplets trick-or-treated their favorite way-getting pulled in the wagon. They were great at going up to houses and saying "trick-or-treat." This is the first year they really seemed to understand it and enjoy it fully. We were out for a while and they really piled up the candy. My theory with candy is let them have as much as they want, then it is gone quicker. They like this theory:) Sophie hung out in the stroller while we were out getting candy. She was happy as long as she had a sucker in her hand.After leaving Heidi's house, we went to Sara-Lynn's house for another party. She had made all kinds of fun Halloween goodies and we had fun hanging out. Needless to say, it was a full evening and very enjoyable(and tiresome). Now, on to November!
