October 2014-Harvest Parade/Carving Pumpkins/Riley's Bday Party


October 2014

Who can believe October is here and gone.....bring on the cold weather and snow!


October 9th
Today was the Harvest Parade at Donovan's school, unfortunately this year we didn't get to go. Great grandma and grandpa attended for us. The kids get to walk around the block with their costumes on, while the middle school marching band leads them down the street. MPD usually blocks off all the roads so no traffic can go through, then the parents can walk along with the kids and their classmates.
This year Donovan went as ghost rider, he was to nervous to wear his mask in school so the only picture I have of him from that day, his mask is off.

Today we carved pumpkins as a family, I went and got 3 big ones. I love carving pumpkins, especially for the pumpkin seeds. This year I found a new recipe, they ended up tasting sooo good!! Donovan only stays interested for a short time when carving pumpkins....I had to finish it.

Today we had a birthday party for cousin Riley who is turning 6! The party was at Swan's Pumpkin Farm in Franksville. The whole way out there it just rained, it continued to rain for about an hour after we got there. We went into the haunted maze, rode on the mini tractors and went in the haunted house. The kids at lunch and cake, then it was time to go. They each got to take a pumpkin home with them!
