Where did October go?

We had a super busy, super fun October! Here are a few of the highlights:

Halloween was, of course, a huge hit around our house. The boys are still wearing their costumes day and night and if you're ever in the mid-MI area you may catch a glimpse of our masked Spiderman out and about while we're running errands. He would sleep in that costume if we'd let him:).
The warmer-than-usual weather has been enjoyed to the max with: mud fights, puddle jumping, bike riding, pig roast and bonfire-going, deer hunting (yes, I slayed my first deer this year) and leaf pile-jumping.
"In Colorado" Grandma and Grandpa came to visit for a too-short "long weekend." We loved every second of their visit! We visited a museum train exhibit, a cider mill, and the local Best Western indoor pool--which the boys are still raving about!
We did lots of pumpkin pickin.' On one of our pumpkin patch visits Corbin got to drive his first real John Deere tractor! I think he was smitten at first sight.

We grew our giant pumpkins again this year--it was a much better growing season than last year. The largest one weighed approx 235 pounds! Getting all 5 of them from our garden in the backyard to our front yard was an adventure... AKA sumo wrestling giant pumpkins...:)
