November Already?

October was one BUSY month in the Arnold Family:
  • La's wedding
  • Fall Festival
  • UGA football
  • Financial meetings galore
  • Bathroom reflooring
  • Brant's First Field Trip
  • Halloween
  • not to mention things at work, etc.
Needless to say we have been crazy lately. I am so happy it is fall and that things might begin to settle down... oh wait... Dad's Bday, BA's Bday (30 by the way), Ashley's Bday, Mom's Bday, Thanksgiving, Christmas....

DOESN'T IT EVER SLOW DOWN???

Now I know why they say that the older you get, the faster it goes. I think it just means that you have more to keep up with and worry about, so you never feel like there is a dull moment.

I have to be reminded to slow down and breathe, and that I can't do it all. Like Blog...

Here are a couple of snapshots of our life this past month with some excerpts along the way.


This is Brant and his friend, Trey, bouncing in a jumpy at the FFTF Fall Festival!


This is Brant touching a snake at the Chattahoochee Nature Center's Halloween Hike


This is Brant posing by the Turkey on his field trip (MiMi went too) to Berry Patch Farms.


This is Brant smiling with his "happy pumpkin" after we carved it together. Daddy was busy tiling the bathroom floor, so we headed to the pumpkin patch down the road and got 3 pumpkins. 2 for Brant and one for the porch. He helped carve until he had to help dig out the yuckies inside. Not his favorite thing... he said it was sticky and slimy. He told me to finish.


Here is Brant (power ranger) and his friend, Porter (Woody from Toy Story) racking up in the candy department on Halloween.


Brant enjoys looking at all the blow ups and the lights more than getting the candy. Although, once he felt he had enough, he was ready to get home and eat it!

Brant and Brandon had lots of fun in the leaves yesterday. They would rake them in a pile and take turns jumping in. Then they covered each other in leaves. Brant had tons of fun with Daddy this weekend. Good thing, because BA has to work almost every Saturday in November, so we will not be seeing him too much! :(

Happy November all. No promises, but I will attempt to have more than one post this month!
