Austin Ta
Resting up for her fun night... ”Poppy” is ready to go... Zoe had so much fun! She was ready tI go home early since it started raining. Sissy took her home while I went with the big kids a little longer. She was so excited to look at and eat her candy! So many cute faces... They had fun trick or treating even though they were soaking wet. The rain discouraged most people from coming out so it was a very different Hallowern for sure this year. We didn’t trick-or-treat as long as we usually do, but fun memories were still made! Since we were in early, we watched a few Halloween shows while they enjoyed their candy...

Monday: This afternoon we played at the park and went for a walk/ride on our favorite shaded trail... We found this snake skin at the same location we saw a coachwhip snake a few weeks ago. He must still live nearby. We look for it everytime we walk the trail, but haven’t seen it again since. The kids painted their pumpkins tonight... Kate has been enjoying drawing lately...

We went to a pumpkin patch this afternoon. Zoe enjoyed picking out her very own pumpkin. The kids plan to paint their pumpkins this year and then we will make pie or muffins out of them. Next we went to the library to get Jordan, Kate, and Zoe a FREE Halloween costume from Costume Connections. We were so happy with our experience, and everyone loved the costume they found. Zoe is going to be Poppy from Trolls... Kate was so excited to find a devil costume. Her friend Victoria is going to be a devil too, and they wanted to be devil sisters. Jordan found a Hippie costume... We stopped by Pfluger Park to walk the trail before heading home. Naptime... Marshall stayed to hang out with Daddy while he worked around the house.

We woke up today with a “boil water notice”, but thankfully our neighborhood wasn’t affected after all. However the entire city of Austin was affected so everyone went crazy buying bottled water. All of the stores were sold out. It did remind me that we should have some bottle water on hand, but it was hard to find a store that still had some. I finally found some at CVS. As I’m writing this post tonight, the city of Austin (and some surrounding areas) are still are under “boil water notice”. Here is a map of the entire affected area...

The kids played “Ships and Sailors”.... I told Zoe that the movie room is for big people only because I want her to play instead of watching TV.

Zoe had fun making a Jack-o-lantern craft this morning... The kids were so excited to wake up to the cold weather! They couldn’t wait to put in their winter clothes. This afternoon we met up with Jordan on her way home from school for a walk. It was raining most of the day, but it stopped so we decided to go for a walk. However it started to rain as we were on our way back, and we were soaked and freezing by the end. The kids had so much energy and enjoyed the cold walk. Zoe napped through everything... Soaked and trying to warm up after the walk... We decided to welcome the cold weather with some hot cocoa...
