Well, I had a SNOW DAY on Thursday, so I spent most of the morning putting together a couple more collages! Here is how we spent our October.
We started the month of by heading out for our annual hunting trip. This year we spent it up in Malta, Montana. My dad won an auction for a two day pheasant hunting trip for five with meals included. Not knowing what to expect, Amy, Ryan, Ed, my dad, and me grabbed our gear and headed north. (Of course we dropped the girls off in IF to stay with Big Grandma, Little Grandma, and Papa, dogs stayed in Boise) When we arrived at the ranch, there was lunch already on the table...delicious! While there, we had some great meals, good hunting, fabulous weather, but most of all made some new friends. Here are some pictures of the week. Six boxes of shells, and limiting out twice, we had quite the successful weekend. We actually had another pheasant for dinner the other night, and my kids gobbled it up before we could have much of it!
Of course, with October, comes Halloween and Boo at the Zoo. This year we went to Boo at the Zoo in Boise. May I just say that Idaho Falls, you do a much better job. None-the-less, the girls loved it anyways. Having two little girls, Halloween will never be ghouls and goblins...it tends to be a never ending rotation of Disney Princesses. Last year we were Rupunzel and Cinderella. This year, Snow White and Ariel. Of course we wanted under the sea Ariel, so we needed a mermaid fin. Both kids truly loved the opportunity to dress like a princess.

Finally, we carved our pumpkins the weekend before Halloween. Ed drew the short straw and had to help Hannah carve her pumpkin. She always has some sort of unique, curvy face to carve out. This year, it was heart eyes. Elayna is much easier. She wanted basic shapes for the eyes and nose, and a fairly simplistic smile. I have her draw them first, then I try to replicate it. After Ed finished carving Hannah's pumpkin, he was out of energy to attempt something fancy for our pumpkin. So, he pulled out the drill and attempted to drill a nose into it. As you can see, it was quite humorous. Hannah and Elayna's contribution was gutting the pumpkins, and drawing faces on the remnants.
