October began with Kyle & Karen leaving for Rome and the kids stayed with us. Kimberly came up to help and did the majority of the work. She was such a good little mom and Paul and I were just the back-up plan. We had unusually warm weather for October so they really enjoyed playing in the pool every day. They gave grandpa a workout chasing and throwing them around. Kim helped them get really good at diving for things at the bottom of the pool. They spent 2-3 hours in the pool daily.
The ice cream truck stopped by the park.
Kim had the idea to make hats to play with at the little park by our house. The loved to wear them as the played in their hideouts in the bushes and rode their bikes through the trails.
For my birthday I made my favorite chocolate cake that my mom makes. We decided to cut into it the night before and as I was laughing for the picture I blew out the candle.
