October 2010 Fun

Wow I couldn't believe it when October 2010 came around. It was a busy month for us. Preschool, Cover Bridge Festival, Joel's 3rd birthday, and halloween. We enjoyed every moment of it too. 


Joel was enjoying going to preschool. He love playing with his new friends with different toys, and he really enjoyed craft time I think the most. Joel loves being creative anyway. He looked forward to every Tuesday morning to go spend time at preschool. In October all the kids dressed in their Halloween costumes. They all were so cute. The mom's could dress up, but I decided not to. 


We went to Cover Bridge Festival with Joel's godparents where we live on Saturday. Joel enjoyed the food, music, and decorating a pumpkin. He also loved playing the blow up air rides. On Sunday of the festival we sat with our church family watching the Cover Bridge Parade. Joel loved all the floats, and catching candy.


Joel had an awesome 3rd birthday. We celebrated it with our church family (wouldn't had done it any other way). It was the first year Joel was not sick around or on his birthday. All the previous years Joel got sick. We did a Thomas the Train Theme Birthday for him. Joel loved Thomas the Train, and still does yet today. His godmother made a train cake for him. He was so happy with it. Even though it took so long to eat the cake. We even did a pinata. We also had a hobo dinner. Boy did it tie into the theme. We also went to Indianola to celebrate with our friends over there. It is so nice to have family, church family, and friends that care so much to make my son happy on his birthday.

Last of all in October we went trick or treating. Joel was Elmo. He was so darn cute too. After trick or treating around the town square, at the nursing homes we went to Joel's godgrandparents home to help hand out candy. Joel enjoyed handing out candy to the other children. A few of the costumes did scare him. I can such a tickle watching him have fun.
