I can't believe it's been about a month since I have last posted. October was a jammed packed month for us. But here are the highlights from last month.
Matthew has started his medical rotations! Woohoo! He is done with all the lectures, classes and endless studying and now actually gets to experience all the things he has been learning about. His first one is currently at the podiatry clinic at the medical school. He has loved it so far and is learning a lot. I love hearing about everything he gets to see and do now. It's also so nice now to have him home in the evenings instead of having to go back up to school to study.
This year Matthew and I were asked to be in charge of our ward's Trunk or Treat party. Definitely an overwhelming job! I was excited to do it but it was just a lot of work and kind of consumed my month! I had a committee to help which all did such a great job and I couldn't have done it without them! It's just getting every little detail ironed out that takes so much time. I was kind of relieved when it was over. We had close to 250 people attend and I got lots of good feedback so hopefully that means it was a success!
Costumes this year were very low key since I had a lot on my plate this month. Austin is really into the show Jake and the Neverland Pirates right now and really wanted to be Jake this year so I decided we would all go as pirates. I already had mine from several years ago, I found most of Matthew's at Goodwill, and then made Austin's and Kensley's and some of Matthew's accessories. For some reason I really wanted Kensley to wear a tutu just because she hasn't ever worn one yet so her costume kind of morphed into rocker-chick pirate but whatever!
Matthew's school always puts on a great Halloween carnival and this year was no different. We went around to several offices trick or treating with his friends Peter and James. Then we enjoyed snacks, inflatable slides, and carnival games. Kensley was a sport in the stroller for most of it as long as she had some candy to hold and play with.
I also got a new calling at church this month. I am now the laurel advisor! I am so excited to be working with the young women! They are such a fun and great set of girls.
The week of Halloween will get its own post because my sister Jenna and her family were able to come visit! So. Much. Fun!

Love the Halloween costumes!!
Cute costumes! I love that little headband you made Kensley.
That must be so nice having Matthew back at home at nights. When Jason was working late for busy season for a few months, it was so hard to have him gone at nights especially because by nighttime, you're so ready to have some help and a break.
You will be awesome in YW! I have spent like the last 3 out of 5 years in, so I'm kind of happy to be in primary for now :) Your kids are growing up so fast, they are sweet little blondies!
