Busy, busy October. We did so many things and Jack was a firefighter for almost the entire month! We started the month off with our last camping trip of the season. Fishers, Moyers, Leshers and Joe, Tracy and Neener, Neener (the dog) joined us as we celebrated Matt's birthday weekend (it actually lasts the whole month, but who's counting!) We are so sad to put the camper away until next season and Jack even cried today as we were winterizing it.
Of course we did the Topton Halloween parade again and our little firefighter was mesmorized with the lights, music, sounds, and anything with tires until he realized that he wanted to throw his candy at the kids (which he did several times.) He also dressed up with his friends at school and was excited to have a day off from school because of the snow---already!
I have been busy traveling for work so Matt and Jack have been spending alot of quality time together having lots of Fall fun around our house!
We did visit a local farm together and after much, much, much delibration, Jack found the perfect pumpkin. That same weekend, Jack went to his first musical show. With Nana, Pop pop, Aunt Jo, Momma and Daddy, Jack saw Rain: The Beatles Experience. He was the youngest one in the crowd and was singing at the top of his lungs...not to mention playing drums on Matt's legs the entire time!
We also made the trek to see the Smiths at the end of the month. We realized that this was his first actual neighborhood trick or treating experience. He was a little behind the curve and learned fast especially when he saw that his candy bag was filling up! Matt got to play with Jeff's ATV and Jack got to play with Robby and even be part of Robby's birthday party at Home Depot.
Finally, Jack had his last soccer practice. On the way to the last practice, we told him that there would he would be no more soccer this season and he cheered, "Hooray, I don't have soccer, I don't have soccer!!!" Not sure if he will be signing up for Spring soccer club! He did get a certificate and was pretty proud of that, though.
