Our October.
10:53October is one of my favourite months. I love Autumn and the weather that comes with it. The kids are settling back into the school routine as am I. My eldest son's Birthday is in October as is Halloween and the build up to Christmas, too! It's a lovely time of year. I thought I'd do a blog post round up in photos.
We had fun afternoons and evenings at the park, before the clocks went forward. Harry enjoyed his new remote control helicopter which was a Birthday present (early) from the grandparents.
We talked a lot about the leaves changing colour and the reasons why. My children are all so fascinated with nature and the seasons changing. It's a beautiful time of year.
We enjoyed a few really pretty sunsets and beautiful evening skies. I love Autumnal sunsets, they're the best kind of sunsets in my opinion.
The little's have had lots of fun on the park, too!
We spent some time in the garden playing games and nerf guns. It was lovely to see the children actually playing with there toys! We talked about how to point the nerf guns down, rather than at each other, to insure no one got injured. It's quite fun firing at feet apparently (with shoes on!).
Charlie was introduced to high school, we went and took a look around and Charlie got to join in with some activities and meet some teachers! He also won some prizes. He's super excited about starting high school next year, bless him.
Harry of course turned twelve years old and had a lovely Birthday with friends and family! I still can't believe he is TWELVE years old. Time has gone so, so fast and he's grown so quickly! Wow.
We've had parents evenings and I met Harry's tutor! Which was lovely. He was super proud to introduce me to his tutor. All the kids are getting along really well at school. I'm super proud of them.
We have enjoyed plenty of walks along the river, fed the swans and ducks. And just had a really lovely, fun time. Half term was full of leaf throwing and walks along the river!
Halloween was fun too! We went trick or treating. Which was fab.
I got a bargain on the ghost lights, only 49p for 10 from home bargain. I bought two sets. And the cat trick or treat decoration was only £1 in BM (reduced from £3.99 I think it was)
How have you enjoyed October? What are your highlights? Let me know in the comments, I'd love to here about your Autumn and October. :)

I love your leaf throwing photos. I can't wait until N might actually agree to play ball and throw some!
ReplyDeleteThose RC helicopters are brilliant. I'm debating one for N's birthday list although he might be a bit young to look after it properly.
What a lovely autumnal round up. I too love Autumn and hasn't this just been the best :) I'll be kicking up yet more leaves when I take our dog for a walk later. #PointandShoot
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had an amazing month and I love the autumnal photoshoots. I am sad that winter is coming and we have to leave autumn behind!
ReplyDeleteI have to agree Ocotber is a wonderful month, the park looks the perfect place for that helicopter, I can't tell you how many my kids have broken here when they fly them into a cottage or tree! Looks like you enjoyed Halloween too. Thank you for sharing on Country Kids
ReplyDeleteI really do love October too. It's such a beautiful month. Your Halloween looks super fun and I think those little hedgehog crafts are so sweet. Apart from Christmas I'm really not looking forward to winter. This post has made me realise how much I love Autumn too. Kicking up the leaves, just cool enough that you're still ok without a jumper. You've captured some really precious moments here. Thanks so much for linking up to #Whatevertheweather :) x
ReplyDeleteLovely memories to capture in photographs. The sunsets are great aren't they. All we have to look forward to now are the many shades of grey the sky changes in the day 😢 #CountryKids
