Last week was full of activities to end the month of October. Sunday, the 25th was our primary program for church. The kids did a great job, but I am glad it is over! The wonderful primary presidency gave me a bouquet of beautiful flowers. Then it was my birthday on Tuesday, the 27th. We went out to dinner as a family and had yummy Coldstone Ice Cream cupcakes for dessert. Gabrielle made a list of "People and Things that are older than Mom" -- she came up with 25, including the Statue of Liberty and the Gateway Arch. On Wednesday I prepared truffles and other goodies for the weekend festivities. Thursday the girls got their hair cut, Madison especially got more than a few inches cut off. About 10 of us ladies from the ward got together for dinner out that night, celebrating October birthdays. We have several friends with October birthdays, so on Friday night we had everyone over for dutch oven apple cobbler and other yummy treats. It was fun getting together. Got up early Saturday and drove to St. Louis to the temple. Jared had been called and was set apart as a temple worker. Later that afternoon we loaded up the candy and headed to the ward social, "Halloween on Book of Mormon Boo-levard" which ended with Trunk-or-Treat. I loved seeing all the kids (some of them big kids) in their crazy costumes. My favorite was Billy Mays. It is a good thing we got that extra hour of sleep Saturday night thanks to Daylight Savings time. Rest In Peace, October. Now I am ready for November!
