October! and Dancing!

Here we are at the start of my favorite month! I look forward to October all year long! I love fall with the cold crisp mornings and the warm sunny afternoons! I love the trees changing colors! I love the way it smells outside(fresh cut hay, woodsmoke, farmers burning fields, the smell of dead leaves)! I love Halloween! I love it! I love it! I love it!!!!

I am already making plans for a visit to Dr. Slaughters with my friend in what I hope is just the first of many haunted houses we visit this month! I got out some of the Halloween decor and have been thinking about what new fun ways I can put it all up this year. I have also gotten out my recipe books to hunt for the perfect dish for the office potluck! I have been very busy!

On top of all the Halloween fun we will be having at our house we and by "we" I mean everyone minus Derek will be dancing in The Nutcracker this December so we have started our practices so we can be the best dancers in the world! Don't think for a minute that Derek is being left out or anything I asked him to dance and he said NO but.....I volunteered him to play the part of a palace guard during the performance! The guards don't dance they just get to stand there and look cool so I know he can play that part perfectly! I am hoping it will be as fun this year as it was last year! With 3 new family members dancing it keeps me busy! Hopefully I will remember to take pictures this year to share with everyone!

Yay! An update, and I love your page! How cute! Yes, your house always looks so halloweeney. My kids just have to go to your house to experience the decorations! (since I'm the only mom in the WHOLE world that doesn't decorate for Halloween!) And you guys will be great in the nutcracker!
