What October Looked Like

We've started playing an app called Among Us.

Caroline was the first one to get into it,

but Whitney and I like it a lot, too.

It's kind of like Werewolf online.

So fun.

Victory!

Over General Conference weekend,

we went on family walks between sessions.

Caroline is getting better on her unicycle!

She gets a little better every day!

Whitney has been working hard on it, too,

but still needs a lot of support.

Conference cinnamon rolls.

So yummy!

FHE Jackbox games

Marianne had mentioned she was going to be in Charlotte,

so I suggested that we meet for lunch.

So fun to spend a couple hours with her and Eden.

We've been getting takeout every Friday night.

This week, we decided to actually GO to the 

restaurant and eat in Qdoba's outdoor seating.

It was the perfect evening for it.

Whitney was having dinner with Lauren,

so we missed her.

This BIG praying mantis hung out on 

our front porch for a couple of days.

The girls have still be cooking one night a week,

which I LOVE. For her meal this week, 

Caroline chose plant-based burgers.

We tried both Beyond and Impossible.

They were both good,

but I think Andrew and I liked the Impossible burgers

more than the girls liked the Beyond.

Dave and Buster's is open again!

Yes!!!

I've been heading over there most Wednesdays and coin pushing.

I love it!

I even managed to complete one of my Star Trek card sets.

Caroline's pajama pants from Grandma Sweat.

So cute.

We've been taking C to the tennis courts with us once

in a while. It's so fun to play with her!

She's improving!

Natalie and I got to play together on a 6.5 combo team.

I love playing with her!

Our team stinks. Stacey and I are the only 3.5s on the team.

But we've had a lot of fun anyway.

HALLOWEEN!

With COVID and older kids,

no one went trick or treating from house this year.

Andrew didn't want to hand out candy, either,

and be exposed to all those strangers.

So, we kept our lights off and watched

The Nightmare Before Christmas and

Hocus Pocus.

But, for one of our YW activities, we 

had a virtual costume party.

Caroline dressed up as her Among Us character.

Whit was Coraline.

They were both really happy with their costumes.

It was fun to hit up Goodwill and try to piece them together.

Whit and I went for a walk to the nearby

creek on a beautiful fall day.

She found a leaf as big as her face!

We've had some really mild October temps.

It has been fabulous.

The girls and I did sidewalk chalk art on the driveway.

Caroline drew all three of our Among Us characters:

Me (lemon), C (buildybear), and W (Whit)

We also drew some fruit monsters

We carved pumpkins.

The results:

A pumpkin house, mummy, Boo Covid, and an owl.

Also on Halloween, we cleared the leaves from the backyard.

So.

Many.

Leaves.

I think it was 18 bags full, plus a trash can full of sticks.

There are still more leaves to fall back there,

but it felt good to get rid of the first round.

If you look close, you can see geese flying in a perfect V!

Andrew and I have been going up to the park and running routes.

It's so fun!
When I saw the video I realized that I don't look

nearly as athletic in real life as I do in my head. Ha!
