Fall Fun

How can it be that October is over half over!?! In a blink of an eye, it will be Thanksgiving and then Christmas and then 2010! But before we get there, we have Halloween and a whole slew of birthdays in the family. Hannah and Justin have picked out their Halloween costumes. For the 2nd year, Owen insists he won't wear one even though last week, while walking Hannah and Justin to their classes at school, he wore a Power Ranger mask. Next on the list was getting pumpkins. Every year we do a trip to the Pumpkin Patch, but so far this year, we haven't gone to one unless you count the small patch at McDonald's farm (Grandpa Mike's). Going to Grandpa and Grandma's Farm is one of the kids' new favorite things to do. They have chickens and cows (three mommas and three babies), and they get tractor rides. Grandpa did grow a few pumpkins for the grandkids, and we found some good ones.

Fall also brings the first program of the school year at Joyful Learning Christian Preschool, where Owen has been enjoying school. Here is a photo of Owen not looking too excited. He didn't really sing or participate much, but he did stay in his seat up front, so I was happy about that. The next program will be at Christmastime. We'll see how it goes then.

There hasn't really been much else going on. We've all stayed healthy for the most part for this month. Now if we can just stave off the flu (swine or otherwise).
