Fall Fun

This has been a beautiful fall... We've played outside daily and done several field trips.
Jane at a local pumpkin patch. Behind the fence are some very interesting goats.
 Making giant bubbles outside. Lorelai and Jane popped them almost as fast as I could make them.
Jane in front and Lorelai & friends Sam & Jonah (back) wait for another bubble.

Jane stays warm...
 Silas at a soccer game
 Visiting our neighborhood cave (Azael is on top)
 Our family posing with Grandma-Joni (our kids referred to the two of them as "grandma-Joni")

 Eating fondue with Grandma-Joni
 Jane is digging the chocolate...
 mani-pedi-massage-chocolates-sparkling cider, compliments of my Aunt Joni. She rocks!
 Lorelai loved having her toenails painted by Grandma!
 Our scary Jack-o-Lanterns. Thanks to Grandma-Joni for their carving expertise and help!
This has been a fun fall!

P.S. Interesting factoid: every time something beeps (microwave, oven, clothes drier, alarms, etc) Lorelai gets extremely nervous and screeches to "Hurry, stop the beep, stop the beep!"  Unfortunately her (mean) brothers have made her believe all the beeps mean their is a fire somewhere in our house and she really gets nervous about it.

Moldy Oldy?

Mystery Man had another birthday this past month. How old do you guess he is? Do you think he's probably a "moldy oldy"?  We don't. MM is high energy and generally fun to be around. He's a great dad. Can you believe this guy weighs the same he has for the past 15 years? I challenged him to be in a race... stay tuned to see if he'll do it. Happy Birthday Mystery Man!
