October 2017 Recap

It's already November!

We weren't as ambitious with outings and such in between Matt's school and my recovery. We took advantage of good weather and hit playgrounds or went over to friends' houses. So we still kept busy!

We had a couple birthday parties this month.
One was in a friend's backyard.

Matt meeting Daniel Tiger

Another was at an indoor splash pad.

We went to several different playgrounds. (You'll be able to see the wide range in temperatures over the month from how the boys are dressed!)
