Fall Fun


We had a busy fall as usual!  The first month of school is always hectic.  It takes us some time to get used to a new schedule and get back into a routine.  We were happy when October came and we were a little more adjusted.  Soccer took up a lot of time.  We were grateful for great weather.  We were happy to squeeze in some of our favorite fall activities that we love every year.  We made it to Wind Mill Farm for the crazy hayride.  Right before Halloween we managed to find our way through Tom's Corn Maze again and watch a pumpkin launch.  I took an afternoon off to surprise Molly at lunchtime and then to help out at Madison's Halloween party at school.  October is a big birthday month in our house.  Duane and Mallory celebrated their birthdays the same week.  Duane spent lots of time raking leaves and getting the house ready for the winter.  We love putting out mums, corn husks, pumpkins and other fall decorations.  The kids made a trip to Treadway gardens to help us pick out some things for the yard.  For Halloween we had Little Read Ridinghood, a jenie and Princess Leia.  I loved their costume picks again this year.  They all really fit the part.  All three girls were invited to a Halloween party at a neighbors.  Then we headed out for trick or treat later that evening.  The weather was perfect.  After trick or treat we went to the Oakes for some fun and spirits.  Another great fall under our belts!
