The biggest event in our family in October is Damian's birthday. We like to do a lot of celebrating on the kids' birthdays. Frank and I took root beer floats to D's class on Friday. Then Friday night he had a party at 1984 arcade . It's a great 80's style arcade and he loves it! My sis made him an amazing cake and invitations. 
After the party, we went to the Skinny Improv, our local comedy club (family friendly). They included Damian and another guy celebrating his birthday into a segment of the show. It was a blast! We also celebrated his birthday with two more parties at the Grandparents' houses.I have had some fun this month working on my nature photography. Here's a shot from my back yard.
I've also been helping at the kids' school quite a bit. In addition to my regular jobs of making copies, sorting papers, etc., I helped the kindergarten classes w/ an art project, took some pictures for the yearbook of PE and the school dance, and helped sort and count books for the RIF program. Here's a pic I took of the PE class. Do you remember doing this as a kid? I do. Parachute games were my favorite! It's so fun to see the kids enjoying the same things I did as a kid. :)
October has also been soccer month for us. Damian's last game will be this next Saturday. He's been playing really well, and has scored several goals this season. I love watching him play.
I'll try to post again w/ Halloween pics next week. We went to our church's Trunk-or-Treat last night, and will go out again on Halloween. I'm hoping to get some good pics. :) This next week is also Red Ribbon Week at school - Just say NO to drugs! I'm hoping to get some good pics of the kids dressed up for each day's theme (crazy hair day, wear red day, PJ day, etc.) Until then - Happy Halloween!
