October Fun

Oh Fall! I just love you! You are my favorite!

I think October is my favorite month of all time! We started the month off by watching Hocus Pocus. I love that movie! We did some preparing for the colder weather to come and we carved pumpkins!

I love having traditions with my little family. It was so fun carving pumpkins just the three of us. We played Halloween music and watched Kanzis get grossed out by the pumpkin "guts" she is silly.

Yes we are listening to kids Halloween music. The adult kind was too scary for me...Kanzis.

Josh carving freehand! He is just using that little picture on the laptop...he's so talented!

The final product! Looks awesome!

So much fun!

We also went to the Zoo! Kanzis' second time. 

She loved this thing!!

I think she enjoyed the animals a lot more this time. :)

Saturday was Kaizen's 3rd Birthday. This years cake theme was Legos. 

I know Kaizen is where he needs to be, but every year on his birthday I imagine his day so different. I imagine him running around playing, opening gifts, blowing out his candles, and devouring his cake. I imagine a happy little boy without a fear in the world. I imagine my angel...here with us.

Every year, our family members get together at his headstone, let go of balloons, that I imagine reaching him in Heaven, we sing Happy Birthday and eat cake. 3 years and I have never been able to sing that entire birthday song, I always choke up in the middle.

Maybe he is the reason I love October so much. After all, it was in October that I became a first time mommy to an angel on Earth.

Later that night was our annual Halloween Party! Two of my awesome aunts hosted it this year! They did such an amazing job! We had so much fun.

 

I am kicking myself for not getting a picture of my parentals! They were pirates, they looked awesome!!

 

Even later that night, a few of us played fugitive. It's where you have to run around town to certain destinations hoping not to get caught by the car who is looking for you. It was so much fun, I felt like a kid again!

Can't wait until next year!

Happy Monday Everyone. :)
