October Events

Josh and I had a lot of fun in October. We were in charge of planning the daddy daughter date night for our ward. It was kinda stressful trying to plan a fun night for daughters of all ages, but it turned out to be a lot of fun. We started the date night off with pictures at the photo booth. We made photo props for and it was fun to see what everyone chose for the pictures. 

After everyone hit up the photo booth, we ate dinner (I forgot to get pictures). Then the real fun began. We split everyone up into four teams and played a food relay race game. The person at the front of the line had to run to the table, grab a bag and eat whatever was in it. It was funny to see everyone's reactions when they opened up the bag. 

We set up a craft room for the little girls who weren't old enough to play the relay game. They made spiders, owls and bats. They loved it!

The night ended with some dancing. We asked one of the young women who is a dancer to teach everyone a dance to Hannah Montana's Hoedown Throwdown. It was hilarious to watch the dads learn to dance.

Josh and I were lucky enough to go up to Utah at the end of October to see my sister dance in THRILLER! She is such an amazing dancer and dances with Odyssey. I'm so proud of her for being so dedicated and working hard to be a professional dancer at such a young age. Josh had never seen Emma dance before and I knew he would absolutely love Thriller. And he did!

Because Josh had to be back to school on Halloween, we weren't able to spend Halloween together. I stayed a few more days in Utah before I had to get back to teach. Emma and I had so much fun together. We bought some funny teeth up at Jolleys.

 She decided to dress up in two different costumes for Halloween. Her day costume was a really attractive nerd. ;0)

 And her night costume was a Red Sox baseball player. I thought she looked so cute!

 We ate some homemade chili for dinner and then we carved some pumpkins. Hers didn't turn out so well. She was trying to draw some glasses and then an eye fell off.

 My pumpkin actually turned out though.

We had so much fun up in Utah and loved spending time with my family. We are excited to see them again during Thanksgiving! As for now I'm on the hunt for more violin students and Josh is pluggin away at school.
