It's been a beautiful fall, but let's not forget about the day-to-day October things. Remember all those apples we picked back in September? We ate quite a few plain, but I did get a new kitchen toy to help us make some apple butter. Yum! It was so easy that Owen helped me out and we got going pretty fast in our assembly line!
Hadley has been going to gymnastics and is still loving it! Here, she's demonstrating the bat hang (in pink shorts). She's a natural! I have definitely been impressed with her listening and following directions skills in class. You wouldn't know it from home! :)
Not to be outdone, Owen has finally mastered monkey bars of all shapes and colors!
Our half-day schedule and the warm sunshine brought us to Bear World a few more times after school before they closed for the season. The cubs have gotten so much bigger than they were in the spring, and they love to wrestle with each other. Hmmm... reminds me of someone...
One night we enjoyed an early dinner downtown and then took a walk on the greenbelt. The kids were in a photographic mood.
Owen often laments that we don't have big enough trees in our yard, because he wants to rake up big piles of leaves. Luckily, our church has big trees and the kids played in them after church last Sunday. See Hadley's blue sleeve? There are actually 3 kids buried in those leaves! They had so much fun!
Owen has been enjoying school so far, too. He actually looks forward to doing his homework every day! He brings home a page or two each day of what they were working on, and this one made me laugh (and all of the similar ones from that week). Say all of the o's in a spooky ghost voice. He came up with that all on his own. Silly kid.
And of course there's the annual trip(s) to the pumpkin patch.
Now they've added chickens (he's laughing because they nibbled on his finger when he was feeding them), kittens, and minions.
The train is still a hit! This year we rode with our friends, the Phillips: Abigail, Elliott, and Sullivan. I opted not to ride, because I can now! :)
And the mini-maze. Do you see my little cheaters? Or daredevils? Either way, that is not how you are supposed to do a maze! Tsk, tsk.
We also did a field trip with H's class a week later. I was proud of her hair that day. The end. :)
