| Celebrating my Grandather's 90th Birthday and Uncle Mike's 63rd - October is the best month because of all the birthdays (and sugar)! |
October does not disappoint - it's probably the busiest month of the year for us. It's the end of volleyball, the beginning of basketball, family birthdays, combined with fall festivals, this year's Haunted Lantern Tours for Isaac, Halloween - there is something going on all the time, which is nice but also exhausting. It's a thankful sort of exhaustion. The older our kids get, the more I realize that while I am tired and feel run over with activities going on, things will come to an abrupt halt before I know it. Karson is almost half-way through her freshman year, Isaac his 7th grade year and Miles his 5th grade year. Crazy!
Miles went low key (and small) this year and did his first (friend) sleepover celebration for his 11th birthday. We had his birthday on Friday, the 13th which was also opening night for Isaac's Haunted Lantern Tours and Family and Friends Night (discount night - woo hoo). We packed up our little crew and headed over to Azzip for dinner, to HLT after, and capped off the night at Jump Air Zone - basically had the place to ourselves.
Karson and I had an early morning on Saturday and had to be at Chaney's Dairy Barn at 6:30 AM for the Spartan Stride 5K (fundraiser for the basketball team). It took the boys a while to settle down the night/morning before so she and I were running on fumes. My mother in law came over to relieve us because Matt had somewhere to be as well. After the race, we headed home to crash and burn (sometime around 10:30/11). Miles had went over to Pap and Nana's after the friends were picked up that morning. He came home shortly after we got home and looked like a zombie. He asked me if I had given him any allergy medicine and said he felt terrible and was dizzy - almost walking in circles. I told him that he was feeling bad because he stayed up so late and that's what a sleepover does to a person. He said OH well I don't like that and don't think I want to do that again. Hilarious (he and Karson are so similar in that respect). He crawled into bed and slept for a little while. Quite possibly his first and only sleepover! He had fun though, and that's the most important thing.

| We got Miles a putting green for his birthday! |
I sent Zebra Brownies to school on Tuesday (his actual birthday - my Tuesday TOT) so Miles could celebrate with his classmates. We went to Chick Fil A that night. Little did I know it was family night. Our CFA is always a madhouse - should've known better, but oh well. It was nuts - cotton candy machine going, candy corn BINGO, the entire Purples Volleyball team was there eating (they played SWHS that night in the District Volleyball Match). It was a packed house, but that didn't bother us. We managed to wrangle some tables fairly close to each other and celebrated our little buddy and partied hard with the rest of Bowling Green!
Our Karson Ann celebrates her birthday today! She, like Miles, did a small friend party last night with a few of her buddies - no sleepover. My first child and last child are not the sleepover party types.
However, Isaac spent all day with a friend last Saturday, spent the night, stayed up super late, chugged Dr. Pepper and was ready to go the next morning. He isn't phased by them at all. We ate dinner at AZZIP Pizza before heading to Cave City to visit Raven's Cross Haunted Village. The trip there was longer than actual trip through the attraction (sort of a bummer on that end), but the girls had fun and enjoyed their time together. We might have to go South next year and check out some of the scary attractions in Nashville. I've seen some frightening pictures on social media.
We headed over to the L&N Train Depot to pick up Isaac, our little Ghost Hobo who wrapped up the tour at 9 PM. The girls got to see his scene too - since it's outside. The caught a little flack from a few of the tour-goers but Isaac and his partner invited them to come watch, so we figured that was okay.
We celebrated today with our family at Culver's during lunchtime. Our kids are fortunate being surrounded by SO much love - indeed lucky! This time next year, Karson will be getting her learner's permit - eeeeeekkk!
