31 Days Has October

October is one of our most favorite months, coming in second to December. Even though the temperature may still hit in the triple digits, the mornings and nights are much cooler and the smell of fall is in the air. Halloween decorations emerge. Moods are cheerier and baked-goods are yummier. We get to be inspired by watching General Conference. I celebrate my birthday. We carve pumpkins, eat candy, and dress-up. What is there not to love about October?! In celebration of this month, the kids and I will be doing a fun activity everyday. The planned activities are listed below. I thought that if I planned them all now then I wouldn't have any excuses. The kids love creating and I love helping them create. Most of the projects require supplies I already have here at the house, so I don't need to buy additional items. I linked several of the craft projects and recipes to the sites where I found them. I'll be blogging our fun everyday. Feel free to join us!
