Happy October!

I bet you thought I was going to say Happy Birthday to someone else, right? The September birthdays are over and it's time to gear up for Halloween! The girls are deciding on their costumes, which will remain a secret (at least to all of you on the internet) until the spooky (or not so spooky) night.


I am always excited to see October in. It signifies the true ending of summer in Florida to me. The weather gets beautiful, cool in the mornings, warm in the afternoon and downright chilly in the evenings! This is truly the perfect time to visit our state! There is also a lot going on at the theme parks, Halloween parties all around. This year I think we'll take in SeaWorld's Shamu Spooktacular!

We only have a few things planned so far, but they're good things! First we are actually going to be prepared for our community's semi-annual garage sale! It's the weekend of Oct 20-21, but we've already cleared out the garage once...now we have to sort through the remaining stuff that was reloaded to prepare! Lots of clothes and toys and stuff! The following weekend will be our reward for a successful sale. We are going to the Keys for 4 days to go camping with our friends Shelly, Tom and their daughter Ashley. They are very into geocaching, and we're looking forward to some girls vs. boys searches and family vs. family searches in addition to margaritas by the ocean! We've never been to the Keys, so we are particularly looking forward to that!

Keep checking in on other things we are up to this month!
