October

We love October in the Saline family. For lots of reasons, mostly because of Halloween... but we all get excited at the beginning of October because we really do a lot of fun stuff! Of course, Codys birthday happened in the middle of all of this, but I wanted to wait until it was all over to put up all about the last crazy month of October. First we went to the pumpkin patch at Cal Poly. We LOVE this pumpkin patch, first of all any size pumpkin is $5! but second the field is enormous and COVERED with pumpkins, so it looks really cool for pictures.

On our way in!
These 2 were pretty cooperative for taking pictures,
even if they werent cooperating they took cute pictures!

This one however was a stinker! For some reason he wanted nothing

to do with smiling.

Another activity this month, that I had to include for memorys sake was

Jake and lily decided they wanted to earn some money.... So they started a lemonade stand! On the coldest day! It was freezing and it was actually kinda late when they

started it all, so I was surprised they got any business at all! At first Jake

wanted to charge $1 for every cup, because he figured he would make a lot more money

faster, but when the first customers came and looked at him funny, he took my advice and

changed the sign to 25 cents... I feel like laughing just writing this! It was so funny and fun!

Then Lily had scarecrow day(in lieu of Halloween)! Only the kindergartners do this at the school, they dress up like scarecrows and parade in front of the whole school, then they do tons of

crafts and games for the rest of the day. When Jacob did this I think I was still too confused

and new at it to really appreciate it, but this year we were all ready and had a ton of fun!

Doesnt Lily look like an adorable scarecrow?

Then it was the ward halloween party! You'd think I would have been able to get a picture of them all together but I didnt sorry! Lily was Snow White.

Cody was a piyate (yes, I know I spelled it wrong, but this is how he said it all month long!) He looked like a little capt. Hook, minus the hook half the time!

Jake was a ninja! and his friend Jacob was also a ninja! We invited Jake's friend to come to halloween party and he and his mom showed up, its always a crazy night, but who can turn down an extra night of halloween candy? It ended up being our only halloween candy night, but I dont think the kids really minded. We tried to not make a big deal and then the night was over... Next year will make up for it!

We also had a little shindig with some friends and required dressing up, some people came looking so AWESOME!! but Nephi and I have to coordinate our pictures and then I will post! Wish me luck to get it done before Christmas!
