I Get Sooo Behind in October...

Due to our family vacation and Halloween being in October, I always get so far behind on my week in review blogs. Here is what has been going with the King Family.

October 4-October 10

I started out this week with a Monday marathon of Pawn Stars and American Pickers. Can anyone say awesome shows?! I absolutely LOVE these 2 shows that I got interested in when I was pregnant with Matlyn. Nothing puts me in a better mood on a Monday than glancing at the TV every now and again while doing my daily chores and seeing a show I enjoy. If you haven't watched these 2 shows on the History channel, be sure to check them out!

Cameron attended a dance this week that almost involved losing a fellow classmate. How scary is it that my child attended a dance where an acquaintance almost got choked to death!! They decided to make a new policy that you have to send in a permission slip with a parent's signature before you could attend a dance. I guess they figure that it will keep the rif-raf out considering those type never get papers home to their parents or their parents don't care to check their kids' backpacks for them. Anything to keep out the trash....

I have a major "like" going on with pumpkin Hershey Kisses and Candy Corn Hershey Kisses (more so the candy corn) If you haven't tried these, get them!!!





We left for vacation on Sunday, the 10th. I will post a separate blog for that.

October 18-October 24

The Elementary Book Fair went on this week. For the first time in the years I have been there, I did not get called to come and help which really surprised me! I guess they had enough people to do it...my name was way at the end of the list since the committee sign up sheet didn't hit the officers table until the end. The kids used their money wisely and came home with some great books! I am anxious to sit and read with them :)

My MOPS group met on Tuesday and we had a great topic. The title this year is Momology 101 so the steering team is dressed in white lab coats. We had 3 pregnancies announced (none were mine this year!) There are 6 test tubes on the front table. If any are missing when we all sit for the meeting, you know that someone is going to announce a pregnancy. Very exciting!!!

Cameron went to his friend Jay's house Friday again this week. He doesn't get to see Jay much since he (Jay) is Cyber schooled, but I must say, Genin really misses Cameron when he is gone. You don't realize how close they are until one of them is gone and the other has nothing to do....at least that is what he says though he has arcade games, pool table, hot tub, video games...should I go on?!

Our first "Fall" get-together was at the Hillberry Hoedown. Our MOPS group attended along with the church where we attend our MOPS. It was a fun day:





Hayrides









Gorgeous Scenic Views







Mountain Pies!!!









It was a nice day of good food and friends :)



The boys had a soccer game in Peter's Township and then my cheerleading squad cheered the playoff game against Rostraver that evening. A great day for sports!!



October 25-October 31



My younger kids and I filled Halloween bags for the Beth-Center Halloween Parade on Monday. I have done this every year and it is always a good time. Genin and Kaplyn even helped when school was over with. It is a great time to get them started on volunteering :)

The BC Halloween parade was held on the 27th and there were tons of great costumes and just an awesome night to hang with friends! Separate blog for this one :)

The BC Fall parties were held on Friday and were a lot of fun. I am Genin's 4th grade homeroom mom this year. We did a natural fall leaf craft, had yummy food and played some spooky games; pumpkin bowling, guess how many, find the leaves and bounce an eyeball. The kids had a ball...or should I say "eyeball" ;)






This was also Halloween weekend; pumpkin carving, costumes, treats....another great blog to follow!

C-U next week :)
