Austin's costume was supposed to be a Mafia guy, wearing a suit and hat and carrying a toy gun. He asks Friday night when we were going to "get" his costume. Oops...I thought he would be wearing clothes he already had. We went out this morning on the hunt for a costume. He ended up choosing this escaped convict costume. He paid for it himself and was happy as can be with it. He put it on to go to work at PumkinFest, our church's annual community outreach Halloween event. Everyone got a big kick out of it and with him claiming to be "working off" his 100 hours of community service. We had fun even though it ended up being a misty, wet day! He had fun trick-or-treating with a couple of friends tonight, so all is well!

The Fair and Fun

It was close to Austin's birthday, so I took him to the fair. He ate a foot-long corn dog and I attempted to eat a funnel cake...too greasy. I made him ride the flying ship ride, rocking back and forth. He wasn't a big fan. Hopefully I haven't scarred him too bad! For his birthday he wanted to go out to eat with our family to the Japanese steakhouse for hibatchi. it was fun.

We have had so much rain, not much time to actually play soccer. Hopefully, drier weather is coming our way to enjoy the last few weeks of the season. Go Spain.
