Busy October!

  Anyone who is a parent knows that October is the starting of the busiest months of the year! From now till January our schedules get filled with class activities, family get together's and holiday shopping! These are my most favorite months of the year! The air gets crisp and cool and the fall colors are in full bloom and everywhere you look you will see pumpkins and scarecrows which will soon change to ghosts and goblins! This month is ALWAYS a busy month for my family!! We have LOTS of school activities coming up this month and several community events too!!
 
 Of course with having children in school we will have Halloween parties to plan for and school class floats to get made for the Roff's Oktoberfest! The kid's Halloween parties are always a blast! There is nothing cuter than the whole school dressed in crazy and cute costumes!!  Not to mention all the good candy us parents get to eat!!! Oh yes I am one of those parents that goes through the candy and picks out my favorite things!! I may not do that this year though because I DO NOT want to gain all the weight back that I just lost! The school is also doing a Fall Carnival with all kinds of carnival games to raise money for each class. All of my kids will have a booth there and I am sure I will end up running at least one of those for a bit that night!  Plus we have the 3rd-5th grade basketball festival coming too!  My girls really enjoy basketball! They look forward to playing every year! And then there is the Oktoberfest!! The Oktoberfest is kicked off with a parade! There are many floats from the cheerleader float to class floats! All 4 of my kiddos will be on a float this year:) Ayrton will be on the 4H float, the girls will be on the Girl Scout float and Lil man's will be on the Pre-K float! So I am sure I will be working on at least 1 of those floats within the next week! Also at the Oktoberfest there will be many different booths set up selling anything from purses and bows, to YUMMY food! The 4H will have a booth and I believe Lil man's class will have a booth as well! Then on top of all of that we have to keep up with school homework AND spelling words:( I hate spelling so its a good thing that my pc has spell checker otherwise you probably wouldn't be able to read my blogs! LOL!!

  Oh and I forgot to mention that we are going to get our family pics done this month too! I am sooo excited!! We didn't get to get them done last year cause too much was going on but we have it on the calender this year!! I can't wait to go do those and post them!!! We also have a baby shower to go to for my new Niece! Well she isn't my blood Niece but I consider her my Niece! Her Momma is like my baby sister! Madi was born a little over a month early but she and Momma are fine and at home now:) AND lets not forget the tickets to Frontier City that we still have but we haven't gotten to use yet:( Was hoping to get to go this weekend but its supposed to rain Friday and Saturday:( Hopefully we will get to use them this month because they close at the end of this month for the winter. I am staying positive though!

  So as you can see that my month is already planned out for me!! I just have to make sure its all written down on my calender so I don't forget! But I am loving my life as a mother and I couldn't imagine it any other way!! I wouldn't trade all the money in the world for my busy life with my kiddos and family! I think my life would be pretty boring if I didn't have my lil family:)
