Fall Break

This fall break was very much needed in our home. Although, since I am doing online school it didn't seem like much of a "break" to me ;) but Michael enjoyed the little break. We first started it off by setting up decorations that we got from Mama Kim and my mom, lighting yummy smelling candles (even though Michael can't smell it, learned a big lesson that you can't buy cheapy candles and hope for them to smell) and making pumpkin chocolate chip cookies! 

Saturday we wen't to the zoo the second half of the day and even though it was a little cold, and we only saw one part of it, this made me realize how awesome it is to live here! We have so many free activities to do within 30 minutes of us! 

Michael saw this Raccoon across the street from the zoo at a park! 

Sunday was a very fun filled day! Wen't to church, of course took a Sunday nap, home teachers, 5 minutes after the home teachers left, the missionaries came over for dinner, then wen't to a friends house an hour later to make caramel apples with a few of the other couples in the ward. Michael and I have to admit that this day was probably one of our favorites over the break just because we got to interact a lot of people which we don't get to do a lot as a couple! 

 Monday I had to work all day, but that wasn't us stopping us from all the fun festivities :) So I came home, we made muddy buddies, built a fort, moved our mattress into the living room and watched a Halloween movie in our fort with our halloween lights on! I lasted for about 20 minutes of the movie, but Michael said it was fun!

Our very very simple fort! 

Although these don't look to good, they were delicious! For some reason I cannot make them stay white! 

 Then on Tuesday I didn't work, so we decided to drive to Eckerts farm in Illinois, but that will have its own blog post :)

Until next time!

Love the Sauceda's in St. Louis!
