Where did October go?

Wow! That just flew right by. You know we've been super busy with everything when I haven't had time to blog about it all. We had a wonderful October filled with field trips, baking, crafting, family and friends.
We visited Harvest Moon farm and ran through a corn maze. Chloe had our map and diligently stared at it then ran around corners leading us to safety. They had awesome tire swings and I was so jealous as she was swinging on them. I seriously want Billy to make one for me. They had a petting area and we were bombarded by baby goats. Chloe and Billy were fascinated with the baby chicks and guess what we now own 6 little hens. We went out a week later and purchased our fowl, brought them home and made them a brooder. Our amazing friends donated 2x4's and some plywood and Billy is building a coop for them to move in to once they are capable of living on their own.
My very long-time friend Ryan was married last week. We both purchased fancy new attire and played like rich people in downtown Tampa. The ceremony was gorgeous in St. Anthony's Chapel and from there we made our way to the 38th floor to celebrate at the University Club. We didn't know a soul other than Ryan and his parents when we entered the church but when we left the reception we had made several new friends. Chloe spent the day with her Aunt Courtney walking for breast cancer awareness, having a play date and baking cookies.


Chloe's school had spirit week and my poor girl missed most of it because she was sick but she mended in time for the black and orange party. Thankfully, since I made her a skirt and a shirt with an adorable ghost on it.

We attended a zombie themed Halloween party. Billy and I went as zombie hunters and Billy did an amazing jobs with our costumes. He even taught himself how to use costume makeup to create scars and cuts. Chloe was a mermaid and I made her costume. I must say that I think it came out adorably and every house said she was the cutest mermaid they'd ever seen.
With the time change today has been extremely exhausting and I plan to write more tomorrow so I am keeping this one short. One more thing though, I made my first sale and signed my first Preferred Customer today!!! Not a bad way to start the month! I have been pinning Thanksgiving ideas all day so be prepared for lots of Turkeys and baking!
