october

i feel like i have not blogged in a long time! i blame work. whenever i get home i just want to sleep :). however... it's fall, my favorite time of year, which means i must blog about it! one of my favorite fall traditions is visiting gardner village! if you have never been, you definitely should go this month. the village is full of fun little shops and during the month of october it is the best! last weekend we went with some of Dan's family. we had a fabulous time!

here we are with one of the many witches found at gardner village

ethan & tiana by the sweet shoppe. their adorable baby was sleeping the whole time.

we also went with dan's mom and his brother and his brother's wife and their 3 kids. unfortunately i didn't get pictures of them. after wards we went to one of my favorite stores, ikea! we only planned on buying one or two things, but of course walked away with a cart full.

other than that we are both just working. i am looking forward to the fun fall things we have planned for our kindergarten including visiting the pumpkin patch and having a halloween parade.

oh and did i mention it's my birthday month??? that's right, i don't just celebrate one day, i celebrate the whole month! i even started the month off right by getting a free birthday meal at archibalds, the restaurant at gardner village. i have about 10 other free birthday meals piling up in my email. i plan on using as many of the coupons as possible. :)
