November...Where did October go?

Wow, another month just blew by! I'm sure I did a million things but I only remember a few. The week before Halloween Kade & I went to this amazing Halloween party! There was a palm tree maze. Yes, I know what you are thinking... where I come from it's a corn maze! Yay for Florida! It was so much fun and Kade got to be a little monkey because his other costume wasn't quite finished. Also this month Mike's family went to Rexburg to visit the other kids. We knew they would be fishing and having fun and we were feeling sorry for ourselves so we spent a good portion of our day in the Bass Pro Shop pretending like we didn't feel bad that we weren't in Rexburg. Fall is so fun in Rexburg! It's a little sad not to see the leaves changing and putting on our winter hat and sweaters but when I start to feel sad about it I step onto the back porch and from 19 stories up take in beautiful palm trees, the sun and the beauty that is Florida! When Mike has a few minutes to spare we like to go exploring. We have seen some very interesting things lately and I think when I said I was moving to Miami you thought I meant Miami Florida USA, but what I really meant was Miami, not in this country Florida! I don't have pictures but will be sure to take some next time. Mike finished his wonderful semi-pro flag football season. They went all the way to the end and then lost the last game by 6 points. We all know the only reason anyone plays intramural sports is for the t-shirt. So after they lost we were thinking, ah bummer, no t-shirt this year...then the ref. said they get shorts!! If they knew that I'm sure they would have played harder! Shorts, I mean really, who gives shorts? So that was a sad day in the neighborhood but Mike got over after about 5 days of beating himself up about bad passes and what not. Every wife of an intramural professional knows how that is. Haha! Last but not least we celebrated Halloween at the Trunk or Treat. Kade was a motocross rider made specially by Grandma Steel and inspired by the Steel boys. I bet you would have never guessed that! This dirt bike business runs deep, it's in the blood! Mike was a good sport and we were the Blue Man group! Very scary blue men at that but it was a lot of fun and an easy last minute costume. We are lucky enough to get to see the voting line from our place. I kept watching the line looking for the best time to go so finally we stood in line Friday for 2 1/2 hours (which didn't seem too bad) but I'm so glad it's over with. So this is way longer than I expected and I'm sorry but that pretty much concludes our October.  Oh  yeah, I also finished the pumpkin pillow that Kinley and I started way back in...I can hardly remember...maybe March! Lame I know but that's the way the cookie crumbles
