A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up for the week on our blog.
Monday and Tuesday we took off for fall break. Monday, we got the oil changed in my car and had to get two new tires. We did still spent the day with my parents on Tuesday. The Big Kids went to martial arts. Even though Big Girl couldn't participate, she went to watch. Wednesday, we were back to school and that was a bit of a rough day. We did have to stop midday to get the boys haircuts because family pictures will be next Sunday. Big Boy had batting practice. Thursday, we went to the pumpkin patch with some of our friends from co-op. Then we had a picnic lunch at a nearby park. Big Girl went to Grammy's when we got home to work on her cake. And Big Boy had some school work that he didn't finish on Wednesday. Friday was a much better day. We finished school by 1:30 pm, and Big Girl went back to Grammy's to decorate her cake. And I went into major house cleaning mode. There are always tasks that need to be done right before a party otherwise you end up having to redo them. Saturday was the big day. We had about 20 kids come over, and of course, all of them had a parent or two with them. Then we had family friends and family that didn't have children there. So it was a packed house. The party went well, and I think everyone had a good time. We were exhausted after it was over. Today I have to do consignment drop off after church. And tomorrow is her actual birthday.

My annual "All Things Halloween" event is going on. This is my month-long event where I feature reviews from Halloween-y genres (fantasy, paranormal, supernatural, sci-fi, horror, mystery, thriller, and suspense). Over the last few years I've had mostly fantasy books as I just haven't been in the mood for much horror, but still...these are books that can get you in the mood for Halloween.
