Logan's Birthday Party

Our nephew, Logan turned 8 this year on October 5th but his party was a little later in the month so it was a spooky Halloween theme! Mandie and Jason did a great job turning their house into a Haunted Mansion and the kids loved the outdoor movie theater they set up in the backyard!! We hadn't had a chance to put together Julian's Frankenstein costume yet so he went as a pirate instead.

Breast Cancer Walk

Every year since Julian was born, we have joined Dianne's company, JSA Healthcare for the Susan G. Komen's Breast Cancer Walk. This year it was held on October 18th and we were up bright and early to meet the other walkers at 8:00 AM in downtown St. Pete. Dianne's parking pass for the nearby garage made finding a space super easy which was nice since in previous years we have had to walk for blocks and blocks to get to the starting line!

We also got to see what might be the world's smallest puppy! Check out the pink ribbon emblem on his collar. What a cutie!!

NCS Homecoming Week

October 19-23rd was Homecoming Week at Northside Christian and the Elementary students got to join the fun by participating in the various themed dress up days throughout the week. The themes were things like Funny Hat/Funny Sock Day, Mismatch Day, Western Day, and Red, White, and Blue (school colors) Day. I got pictures of some of them but missed a couple in our never-ending rush to get out the door and get to school on time!!

Class Field Trip

On October 14th, Julian went on his first class field trip. Their destination was the Pinellas County Science Center and it was a first time visit for both of us. They attended two short classes, one about life science and biology and the other about earth science and the concept of gravity and inertia! Julian has always been very interested in both types of science so he had a really good time. Don't let the picture below fool you...

His most favorite part by far was getting to play the gyroscopes and watching them spin around on the floor!
