Yay for October & Canadian Thanksgiving!

It is finally October.. This school year is FLYING by!!

EXCTING THINGS ABOUT OCTOBER:

1. I got to put up my monthly wreath.. My mom made this ADORABLE wreath a year or two ago and gave it to me when I decided I want a MONTHLY wreath..

2. I have now been MARRIED for 3 months!! And I am loving every single moment of it!! He has been such a good partner in crime!!

3. Canadian Thanksgiving.. Our friends moved here a few months ago and invited us to their first Canadian Thanksgiving as a married couple (they got married in December) & their first Canadian Thanksgiving away from his Canadian mom.  

I was given a dessert to bring.  I wanted to find a Canadian dessert.. So thanks to Pinterest I found these Nanaimo Bars.. They required a double boiler and I didn't have one.. So I improvised..

Ahh I need some new pans.. They photograph TERRIBLE!

The end result was sooooooo DELICIOUS!! Everyone loved them.. Including his Canadian mom.. It was a proud baking moment for me.. I guess I can follow a recipe lol!

The bottom crumbled a little bit.. but they tasted so YUMMY!

4. Ben's schedule is AMAZING this month!!

5. Halloween is around the corner.. Which mean fun projects with my kiddos at school & seeing their ADORABLE costumes.. They always melt my heart!!

NEGATIVES of October:

1. Parent Conferences.. NEVER a fun time!!

2. I'm not on track break yet..
