Life in October

October was a great month for our family. I always love fall! Here are a few random things from our October.

Volleyball was in full force, and my girls get into it a little more each year.  This fall they played a lot of balloon volleyball. Mylie even came up with a way to make some sweet knee pads out of mismatched socks from the pile. How cute is that!

After months of the kids begging, we finally tried out the cabin with a sleepover down there. We relaxed, watched a movie, and had some popcorn.  The kids thought it was cool to sleep up in the loft.

One day, we discovered these baby raccoons hiding out in our garbage can. Why they thought this was a safe place is beyond me! Anyway, they stayed there for a couple days until Tony and Connor finally hauled them off.  Cute faces, but they honestly scare me to death. I hate raccoon hisses!

We had a nice harvest this fall with LOTS of potatoes.  We didn't get very many carrots--lots just didn't germinate--but the ones we did get were huge and tasty.  We also had a couple mutants like this interesting one.

Finally, October was filled with lots of loving on our little Brady.  He has his siblings wrapped around his finger.  They just adore him.  Mylie loves reading to him, and Brady loves it too!
