October is here! To celebrate, we had a party. We kicked it off with a little chili and cornbread. I made popcorn ball jack-o-lantern treats - they didn't turn out as flawless as I intended (I'm no Martha Stewart), but they were gobbled up all the same.
The kids ran around as we waited for dark. Taylor appointed himself drill sergeant for a bit and the kids did sit ups, drills and obstacle courses. Everyone brought their own pillows and blankets and watched a Halloween themed movie outside, Corpse Bride. Everyone had a great time. I was surprised that, for the most part, the kids stayed put to enjoy the movie. Although, towards the end, Gabriel, Issak and Ethan opted to bounce on the trampoline instead.
Hooray for the outdoors! Bring on the holidays...
