October Bucket List Revisited

-
My original October Bucket List found here

1. Drink my first ever pumpkin spice latte
2. Wear short sleeves
3. Make pumpkin bread
4. Eat dinner outside 
5. Complete our costumes
6. Try the pumpkin spice oreos
7.  Make soup
8. Burn "fall" candles
9. Carve a pumpkin
10. Go to the local farmer's market 

My original costume idea (Basketball baby bump, Cheerleader Caris and Kent as a basketball player) didn't work out so the girls went with something else. More pictures tomorrow.
 I wore short sleeves a few times and was even able to whip out a sweatshirt for a morning walk
 The Oreos were pretty good! Don't stick your nose in the packet and take a deep breath because it'll smell like a Yankee Candle store. Take a bite expecting pumpkin/spice/gingerbread-y flavors and you'll be just fine. 
 I love candles, but hardly ever burn them (weird). I've had this pumpkin one for about 4 years. The wrinkly tablecloth? Just as long. 
One of our outside meals. She took advantage of the new found freedom of not being strapped in and the meal took seventeen hundred minutes longer than usual, but that was okay because Kent was at Youth Group for the night and the only thing on our agenda was killing time. 
Here's our first ever Pumpkin Spice Latte experience. After taking a picture of the drink, Caris wanted a picture taken of her pretzels. 
The only things that went unchecked? Pumpkin carving (for the 2nd year in a row) and pumpkin bread (we were out of eggs) Thanks, October, you were fun!

3 Reasons

3 Reasons:  Why It's a Good Idea to Move (Because "The Reasons Why We Shouldn't Move" would be too long &  too sappy)  1. I'm less likely to run into people from Middle School . This reason specifically addresses my 8th grade English teacher. I've probably seen her every year since the 8th grade and considering that that was thirteen years  ago, that's a lot of times. I've always resisted the urge to walk up to her and say, "You never taught me how to diagram sentences! You're the reason I'm not a writer!" But if I happen to see her after I move, I'll take it as a sign and invite her out to lunch...where she might just teach me how to diagram sentences. 2. It's a ritzy, upscale place . We're moving to a place where people are well off. Yes, there will be drawbacks to this and I probably wouldn't pick it if I had a choice (but that's a blog post for another day). While there will be drawbacks, the...

The ultimate Time Out death stare 1. Potty Training Is going well. Less accidents, more jelly bean rewards. It just involves a lot of bending over (ooph!) and huddling in public bathroom stalls together. 2. "Treat others the way you would want to be treated" Would you like for her to take the toy out of your hands? How would you feel if she chased you until you were scared? Would you like for her to start singing while you're singing a song? The Bible says to treat others the way you would want to be treated...yatayata  x a millionHOW MANY MORE YEARS OF THIS 3. "No one likes being ignored"  I overheard my older, wiser, more organic (Jokes. But not really. She uses raw sugar and roasts her own peanuts) friend tell her child this when he was ignoring his sister. I like it much better than "answer your sister" as it makes them think of the other person instead of just following a command. Thoughts? 4. "Stay three feet away from me...
