October update!

Yikes - it's been a while! I finally dumped the pictures on my camera so I thought I'd do a quick re-cap of the month thus far.

In case you forgot, the kids were invited to ride in a fire truck at the Fire Prevention Parade this year!

Waiting to load up:

We also had a wedding this month. Congrats to Kyle and Alx! Here are some pics from the wedding down south:

Waiting very patiently...

We spent this last weekend with family. We had a Halloween Party with Rick's family on Saturday afternoon, and then Saturday night, we were with my dad and my family for Pumpkin Carving and our annual Chili Cook-Off. I, of course, didn't have my camera, so I don't have pics of the boys in their costumes, but I'll make up for that on Saturday.

Promise!

Super Yum!!!

I skipped lunch and dinner today. It got a little crazy - the kids were invited to ride in a fire truck for the Fire Prevention parade, so they had Goldfish soup and toast, and I ran around trying to locate hats and stuff because it was chilly and rainy. Afterwards, Rick's cousin and his family came over and we hung out and let the kids play until they were tired out. At about 10pm I realized I was STARVING!! Luckily, Kraft foods had an email in my inbox and it contained a recipe for Loaded Baked Potato Soup. I had to modify it a bit because I didn't have everything on hand, but it was ready in less than half an hour (even though I cooked it on the stove and it boiled over...)!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE it! I'm a big soup person, and I just might eat the whole pot myself tonight!!! I added a can of Cream of Chicken soup because I read that it was kind of thin without it. I skipped the green onions, bacon, and sour cream because I was lazy and hungry, lol, so it's more of a cheesy potato soup, but it's totally to die for!!! Here's the link:
