Zoe's First Book Club Meeting is a Halloween Hit

Book Club this way!
My first book club meeting was a very fun experience! 4 of the members came(that includes me) the other 2 couldn't make it. The book that we are going to read is
Kitten in a Candy Corn by Ben M. Baglio. At the meeting we made up silly halloween names. Mine was Spookle Spookton. My friends names were Candycorn Blackcat,Livingstonnot Nottodienottolive,and Cursekennel Carvington. We had candy corn, ghost cookies and cheese and crackers. We drank hot apple cider, played halloween charades, and decorated halloween bookmarks! We also did a survey about what kind of books we like to read and other things like that. I gave out small goodie bags with small little things in them like pens, pencils, erasers, acorns, and candy. My friends and I all agree that it was a fun first meeting! I can't wait for the next one.

Perfect fall weekend

DJ took the day off on Friday and we had planned to go to the local fair but at the last minute decided we didn't feel like fighting through the crowds with the double stroller. We ended up having a very low key but fun afternoon/evening. It was perfect fall weather and we went to the playgroud for a bit. The first picture is of all the kids sitting in the baby swings. I think (and hope) that will be the last time they attempt that!



Saturday we went to Family day in my home town with some of my family ( Uncle Bob, Aunt Heather, Harrison, CJ, Aunt Kim and Uncle Willy) and met friends there (The Riveras). We had lots of fun and it was all free! They took pony rides played on the three inflatables and especially enjoyed the rat race obstacle course. They ate lots goodies throughout the afternoon.
