OCTOBER POST #1: Pickin' Pumpkins, School Carnival & Cruise's Class Fieldtrip

I love October. Not necessarily because it's my birthday month, but because the colors of the leaves change, the air is crisp and cool, the warmer clothes look better on me, and there are so many fun things to do. I wish I had enough time and money to do everything that is going on, but we still had a blast this past month.

Pickin' Pumpkins
Earlier in the month we ventured out to find a pumpkin patch. I don't know about you, but just picking up a pumpkin from the grocery store is just not fun for me. I love the "pick your own" type. So we  ended up finding this hidden landscaping/nursery business in the middle of Pleasant Grove and let the boys pick their own pumpkins. They had a hard time deciding, but they finally were able to pick JUST ONE to take home.

School Carnival

Cruise's school had a Fall Harvest Carnival and so I thought, what the heck, let's give it a try! At first it started out with Jett incessantly whining, but after a little bit he started to enjoy himself. And amazingly enough, they both decided that the bounce houses weren't so bad! They had a lot of fun getting their faces painted, playing games, eating pizza for dinner, and their free balloon swords. We actually had a lot fun! 

Cruise's Class Field Trip

I was so excited to go with Cruise on his field trip to Cornbelly's last week, however, it was FREEZING outside! I mean, winter coats, gloves, hats, the whole thing. It had snowed earlier that morning as well. Jett can attest to that:

But I think Cruise was just elated that I was able to go with him, and I was super excited as well. We had a lot of fun with the little time we had, and he even talked me into buying him a $6 movie called The Square Pumpkin. I may spoil him, but shoot, who wouldn't? He's adorable!
