That day of the week is once again here and I am ready to roll. Let’s jump right into my latest Thursday Rundown…

Donuts With Dad – This morning, St. Mary Catholic School held its annual Donuts With Dad event. As the kids are still feeling a little blue after their grandparents flew back to South Carolina yesterday, this was a nice dose of positive cheer for them. It can always get a little hectic in the gym with so many students and dads but once again we all really enjoyed ourselves.

Thanks to St. Mary for organizing this morning’s “Donuts With Dad” event (photo courtesy of Alisha Roberts).

Missoula At Its Best – It can be tough to beat Missoula on an autumn October day. I took this photo after last Saturday’s Griz game of Sloan in front of blue skies, Mt. Sentinel, and the Clark Fork River. What more can you want?

I love this photo of Sloan at the footbridge that leads to the University of Montana campus.

Uncrustables War – Have you heard the news? The Smucker Company, which owns Uncrustables, is suing Trader Joe’s for trademark infringement because allegedly TJ’s is taking way too many liberties with its version of a crustless PB&J sandwich. The Trader Joe’s product is too similar in shape and packaging to the Smucker project. However, while those two brands battling it out, I am just sitting over here eating my Costco-branded crustless peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Seriously, these things are awesome!

The Costco version of the “Uncrustable” sandwich is actually really good!

October Snow Storm – It was five years ago that Spokane was covered in snow. The fact that so much powder dumped during October was unusual but it also served as a “Welcome to Washington” of sorts for Sid and the kids as South Carolina is snow-deprived. Sid and Sloan had so much fun!

October Challenge – I always enjoy sharing memes that my friend, Lindsi, posts. She had some good ones today but what you see below was my favorite. It is quite easy to have monthly “challenges” take up your entire year but sometimes it is nice to allow a month or two without some self-help purge hanging over your head. With that said, continued good luck to my kids who are tackling the “No Candy Until Halloween” challenge. October 31 is just eight days away!

Thanks to Lindsi for another relatable meme.

Okay, that will conclude tonight’s rundown. This is the big weekend for Halloween activities so please enjoy but be safe! Catch up with everyone next week. Don’t Blink.
