OCTOBER

So after chasing after my walking 1 year old I haven't blogged in a while...here's a month in a flash!

Since all the grandparents came to visit Jude for his 1st birthday we pulled out the mattress and the kids had "Archer Olympics" every day where they would do somersaults and rolls and jumps for hours (it rains in October, so yay for inside activities!)

 Lots of giggles and hugs

 And fun rolls and loves

 My parents came and we went to see some African animals and stayed in a tree house!

 The game drives were long...so Jude didn't hold up but Jude and Autumn loved seeing all the animals

 We saw a heard of like 50 elephant

 And stayed in a fun treehouse where all the cottages were up on stilts with Grandma and Grandpa

 Grandma and Grandpa came and visited for 3 weeks from America, we had lots of fun with them

 BOTH grandparents came for Jude's birthday...so special

 Noah went to his firs karate competition and won a bronze medal..he was so excited.

 Jude is walking everywhere and doesn't crawl at all anymore, he climbs everything and keeps me on my toes. I found my cellphone outside my bedroom window and my favorite shoes in the trash. We love our little mischeif guy

 Autumn loves loves dress up and wants to wear a dress up dress everyday...and sometimes wears them to ballet practice. She skipped for the first time a few weeks ago after months of hopping, so ballet has really improved her coordination we love our little ballerina!

 The local shops were having a halloween trick or treat so we got all dressed up, two Spidermans and a Tangled

 When we got there it was freezing cold and raining...and my kids were crying...so we went to a special chocolate restaurant and had hot chocolate and cake instead

 Special hot chocolate mmm

 Jude dressed as a pumpkin for Halloween..all 3 of my kids wore this for their first Halloween

 And we carved pumpkins the kids really love this every year

 Autumn wanted to carve a butterfly

 And we got to go trick or treating with a friend...they got tons of candy

 And Noah lost his first tooth at 5! He's lost his second tooth too now and got special money from the tooth mouse (cause the tooth fairy is too girly!

And that was our October :)
