October

Wow, October has been a whirlwind month! I will start where I left off. A week after my parents left, we left for Florida!! Grandpa Wilson got to come home from Afghanistan for some training, Kate` had a long weekend due to Parent-Teacher Conferences, so we went to Florida to spend the weekend with Grandpa. We had so much fun!! First of all, it was Kelsey's 1st flight. Boy was I stressed out about that! Traveling alone with th 2 girls really started to freak me out about 2 days before we left. Kate` is easy....but Kelsey....she is my monster! She does not like to be still, not even for a minute. I knew take-off and landing was not going to be fun. On Thursday in the gate area at STL, she was screaming! We scared so many people. I really think they were all thinking about taking the next flight! Well....she did ok. Had a couple of moments, but did much better than expected. Friday, we went to SeaWorld. Kate` loved everything. We had a great time! Kelsey loved the Dolphin and Shamu shows. She would get real happy and clap and laugh. Grandpa had fun watching her! The rest of the weekend we spent on the beach and at the pool. We had wonderful weather. We left on Monday morning, and by Tuesday they were talking about a hurricane. I guess I just draw those things in (Katrina). Kelsey did fine on the way home, but boy were we all tired! We did get some good tan lines too, now maybe Daddy won't be tanner than us!
When we got home it was time for Halloween. Kate`s favorite holiday. I really don't know why it is her favorite, she is very picky about her candy, and after trick-or-treating down the 2 side streets (courts), her feet hurt so she always wants to quit. I think she got about 30 pieces of candy this year, and ate maybe 3 of them. I guess it is all about dressing up. She was Sharpay, from "High School Musical", this year. She absolutely loves that movie! Kelsey was the hand-me-down Sully, from "Monsters Inc.". She truely fits the costume! My little monster. She loves to climb on everything and get into everything...and I mean everything. Well, I could go on and on about our October festivities, but I won't. I have lots of pictures if you want to see them!! Dad, we had a great time with you in Florida and here in STL. Thanks for everything! Have a happy fall everyone!
