Last night we were invited by some good friends to join them after church for dinner and pumpkin carving. It went really well. My favorite part about the whole night was that we spent it with three other families who are all in the same boat as us. None of us have our families around and it was awesome to create core memories for our kids with some really awesome people. I'm also really getting used to having such nice weather around this time of year. It finally feels bearable to be outside. It's also nice to not have to worry about big messes indoors because we were able to do this all outside. Growing up in Utah, I won't take this for granted.
We arrived with three sleeping kiddos.
Addie carved this pumpkin completely by herself.
Grant and the twins painted instead of carved.

Hudson was more interested in playing than carving so his pumpkin was started but never finished. He has no regrets. He had the best time with his favorite friend from church.
Our friend's house where we carved out pumpkins was decorated in the coolest way with so many skeletons. Halloween decorating goals for sure.
We got home just in time to see the Jeepers Creepers parade. We barely made it by a minute. As the kids were getting out of the van these jeeps started making their way down our street. They had no idea it was going to happen and I honestly forgot all about it myself. I just figured we wouldn't be home in time for it all so I never told the kids about it. Turns out that they were really running behind so we ended up seeing it after all. It was a cool end to a great night.
