OCTOBER

Costume update! So Ryder's monkey costume came in the mail. It is really cute, except for one of the ears was sewn on backwards. If you look closely, no swirly on one ear. Luckily I was able to unpick it. Now I just have to sew it back together. Good luck to me. That should be a problem all by itself...



You can see that Ryder really loves the monkey costume. He feels the same way about any hat. He will most likely be a monkey body with no head this year.



We went to the Pumpkin patch at the Big Red Barn with Cass, Candice, Jess and their families. It was fun except by the time we got out to the actual patch, it was dark. Next year I will go earlier. We tried to get a picture of all the kids. None of them were having it...



Alivia and Brighton the two headed ghost. At least they were sharing. So cute!



Ryder is really into tractors and big trucks right now. He was loving the old tractor.



Our family at the pumpkin patch!



Ryder got invited to my Aunt Deann's annual Halloween party. Thanks Deann! He had a good time. Mostly playing in the water and running around. He was a little young still for some of the games. He did play hot potato, but he cried when he got out. I don't think he knew he was out, but everyone yelled, "Oh!" and it scared him. It was fun to see all the cousins in their costumes.



Ryder and Kylee. Ryder had to be a baseball player because the monkey was too hot.



Ryder spent a good amount of time standing by this tree. I think he thought he was hiding.



We went to Witches Night Out at Gardner village. We dressed up and had a lot of fun. This is Jessica cackling for coupons. I don't think we actually used the coupons.



Summer cackling for coupons.



The witches at Gardner Village.



We have had lots of girl's nights this month. For one of them we went to Thriller. It was so fun. They had these young zombie girls following you and trying to scare you before and after the show. The sad thing was, I was a little scared... I did jump a few times.



Sorry about the long post.

Shan- What in the HECK are the odds that you would order a monkey costume and it would come back with an ear sewn on backwards!? Honestly! You must have the same luck as me! HAHA! I wish I wouldn't have missed witches night out! DANG IT! Oh, and I called you back... call me when you can!

Don't you love Halloween! I love it, you guys look so cute as witches. I can't believe his costume came with a backwards ear, that is so weird. =) Good thing you're so domestic. He looks so cute, and he'll be nice and warm too. I always try to have them wear cute costumes that are warm too. I feel bad for the little girls in the tiny fairy dresses or something that are freezing their butts off! =)

Super cute of Ryder! He makes a cute monkey! Crew was suppose to be a monkey last year, and it was the same story. He didn't want to put on the hat. It must be that age! I can't wait to see him in it:)

I love that Ryder had four different costumes. The thing is he was adorable in all of them, even if one was too small and anothers' ear sewn on backwards. It looks like you've been having alot of fun. I love thriller, but I wasn't able to go this year. I'm jealous!
