October 2014

Our first frost came on October 9th. I don't think anyone was expecting that. It got very cold very quickly! 

Paige continued to improve with gymnastics. We go weekly for an hour and a half. 

October was a pretty busy month for me. I am the PTO secretary for Paige's elementary school and I headed up the fall fundraiser for the school. It turned out to be a much larger success than anyone anticipated which is great! Paige really enjoyed the prizes that she earned from the sale....haha! 

Abe's birthday came and went. He turned 33 this year. At his request, we didn't do anything. He wanted to stay home this year, so that's what we did. Birthday boy got his wish! 

Paige continued to improve at dance as well. We had to get a few more things for her to wear because it is like a freezer in the studio! So cold! She picked out the skirt to match a cardigan we already had. 

Paige is in Girl Scouts again this year. She is a 2nd year Daisy scout. October was the month for the annual Nuts & Magazines sale. The mascot for this year's sale was the Sea Otter! 

Then, of course, was Halloween. Paige decided very early on that she HAD to be Elsa. I think every other 6 year old girl chose to be Elsa as well because it was hard finding a costume. There was a short time where I thought I would have to make her costume myself. We got lucky on a random trip to Target though. We went trick or treating in downtown La Crosse the weekend before Halloween. 

Then again at home with a bunch of friends Halloween Night. 

As you can see, October was a very busy, fun filled month!
