The Stacy Family: An Ocotpus and a 5K

An Ocotpus and a 5K

October just blew right in and blew right back out again! Geez Louise! October (well, Fall in general) has always been one of my favorites AND we have actually done something other than watch football all month long! During the latter part of the month, Reed ran his first 5K (in a long while) out in Flowood and HE FINISHED FIRST IN HIS AGE GROUP!! Whoop!! I can't remember his time but it was fast...like, way fast...as in, I-wouldn't-have-been-done-with-the-first-mile-yet fast.

Another reason that I love October is that it always brings Halloween!! This year we had an octopus stop by and boy was he CUTE! Being the planner that I am, I found Stafford's costume back in June and I loved it so much that I had to jump the gun on that purchase! We went to CCJ for their annual Halloween Party and Stafford had a blast. They had an area specifically set up for kids his age so he was able to play and explore away from all of the "big kid craziness." We decided not to take him trick-or-treating this year because, well, he can't eat candy, he barely has any teeth AND our neighborhood stinks in the trick-or-treating department. Reed and I have owned our home for five years and we've only had ONE trick-or-treater in all of those years: our nephew Ryan. Sad, huh?! Oh well, maybe next year will be a big candy collecting/giving year for us!!

PS: that PRECIOUS appliqued/monogrammed t-shirt that Stafford is wearing came from Decked Out...SUPER CUTE stuff. Check them out (to the right on my blog list)!!!
