We made it through October!

October was such a busy month with very little down time. We've been at the ball field several nights a week along with weekends. Matt had a men's retreat one weekend in Virginia, off to Raleigh for the Buddy Walk the next, then my women's retreat for me the next weekend, Fall Fest for church, and ended out the month with another busy weekend. I've enjoyed every minute of it, but looking for a little bit of down time in November. This past weekend, we went to a friend's house for a Halloween party. It was a great family fun event. Then Sunday, we took the girls to our trunk or treat at church. After leaving there, we went home and visited our regulars in the neighborhood. I think Mattie had more than her share of trick or treating fun. She dressed as a princess for her school on Wednesday. We dressed her to match her punk rock sisters on Saturday. We left out the pink hairspray and make-up. I was not going there with that. Then on Sunday, she was a puppy. I've posted a few pictures of the girls dressed up below.

This is Mattie's favorite dress up outfit at school so they let her wear it for trick or treating. They bring the little ones around each classroom to get treats from all the teachers and their students. Mattie was exhausted by the time she got to my room.
