Thanksgiving With the Kortus Klan
This year was our turn to spend thanksgiving with the Kortus' and it was sooo much fun!! It had been quite awhile since we had all been together, and it was so great catching up and feeling like no time had been lost! I love this family!! We did miss Pat's oldest sis Rose and oldest Bro Fred and his family! We'll hopefully see you soon!!
Pat and brother John and nephew Drew
Saying Goodbye to a Member of the Family...Little Fudgy
This month we decided fudgy would be better off with another family as now the kids are in school and she wasn't getting any attention. We have had her for 2 1/2 years and she survived her sister dying from a disease which was quite tramatic for all of us. Thank goodness for craig's list as it was very painlessly done while the kids were at school and yeah for me now that the boys' room doesn't smell! I think she will be our last rodent forever even though I will miss how cute she was!

Trent Turns Twelve--What?!
I can't believe we have another teenager in the house! Technically he has another year to go but in our experience, this year tends to be a bit more dramatic than the 13th so really there's no difference. This was a huge year for Trent. Not only does he get the priesthood and gets to pass the sacrament on Sundays, but he gets to say goodbye to primary forever and finally gets to meet with the youth. Poor Trent has been the only 11year old in primary for months and yes was the only one in the program. He was SUPER thrilled about it but was a great sport as Tyler and Pat tried to make him laugh the whole time. Poor guy. If you were to ask Trent is this was his best bday ever he would say yes not only to the above things mentioned but because he finally got his own cell phone. I fought this forever with him as his friends' parents are much more generous, and poor Trent has parents who arent,but we needed to get into a family plan and so it just made sense. I didn't get a picture of him getting it as we were very mean and tricked him later with it, but these are the other things he got.

Twas the Night of Witches...And a Ladybug and a Crazy Husker Fan
A Party and a Parade
The day before Halloween we had our annual daycare halloween party. Everyone got to bring their costumes and dress up, play games, make a craft and have treats. I think they had a lot of fun.
Here's all my munchkins
Playing the number walk to earn spider rings





The love of older children and their requests for costumes. It's always so interesting to go on this parade. You start in the kindergarten area and work your way up thru the grade levels and it's always hilarious to me how less innocent and more evil the costumes become! Glad this is Trent's last year dressing up!
Later that day... while the kids took naps Pat came home so I could go up to the kids' halloween parade at school. This year it was of course Briegan's turn for me to walk with.
The Dreaded 35!!
I avoided this post as long as I could but I had to put it on here so I could get halloween on as well. Why do we have to get older? I don't feel 35 so why do I have to be this old? Not fair. Despite my excitement of this birthday my family was really cute and made me queen for the day!!
Pat also gave me a very sweet necklace with an engraving just from him. How sweet!
