When We Weren't Cruising...

October flew by because we were so busy with Halloween festivities and our amazing cruise. Here's some pictures when we weren't partying it up: 

I found this swimsuit on clearance for $5. Brynnli has been wearing it 24/7 since we bought it. She wears it to the store, she wears it to sleep, she comes home from preschool and changes right into it. She cries when I tell her we have to wash it and stands in front of the washer saying, "I miss you swimsuit!"

Do you know why you should always be nice to moms? You never know when she's lost another battle with a 5 year old. 

 So one day I was driving around and heard a contest on the radio. I ended up calling in and playing the game. Guess what? I ended up winning and won tickets to Clint Black! Clint Black is not my favorite singer, but for a free date night, I will go see anything!

 We went with my parents and my favorite part was as we were walking in my mom said, "oh look, Clint Black is coming!" We chuckled and told her that's who we were there to see. Then as we were waiting for the doors to open my mom was standing by a poster of Clint Black and said the same thing again. When we told her that's who we were there to see, she goes, "Oh how fun" like it was the first time she found out. Sometimes things like this can be sad to me because its a reminder of how sad and unknown my mom's future is, but this situation genuinely made me laugh.

Aww, our little snuggle bugs!

 When we got home from our vacation we had so many leaves to rake up. Our kids got right to work without us even having to ask them!

 I had to plan our ward's Trunk-or-treat. It was a lot of work, but I think it turned out pretty good. Sadly, this is the only picture I took.

 What's more fun than burying yourself in the leaves? We have a huge pile!

Yep, October got us like...
