October has actually been a mixed month. Blake has been poorly with a cold and had to have time off while waiting results from a covid test. Luckily he was all fine. We have also got up to some really exciting things this month too. We joined in with trick or treating with Blake for the first time which he really enjoyed. We've been to the zoo, joined a Halloween trail, went pumpkin picking and spent time with family.

We've spent this month watching quite a few family friendly Halloween films. You can check out my list from a few year's ago which features some favourites.
We are really good friends with our next door neighbour and she gave me this little sign as a gift.
A new dessert place opened up locally and we've been only once so far but it was amazing! Definitely will be headed back and trying out more of their delicious goodies.
I love pumpkin spice lattes and quite a few from Greggs have been consumed during October.
I absolutely love this reward chart I ordered from Amazon. It's by TotsUp and is magnetic. Blake has never been into stickers etc and this has been a much better option for motivating him. The great thing is we can use it again and again for different things we want him to do.
I enjoy guided journals and this one caught my eye. I liked the mix of meaningful and fun questions. So far I've had quite a few that have got me really thinking.
Letter box decal
I found this cute "Oh hello" decal for our letterbox over on etsy.

Halloween Squishmallow
I managed to grab the last Squishmallow that was in my local Aldi. They are really popular so I was very surprised I was able to get hold of one.
