TA-DAH! Daddy finally agreed to get his hands a little dirty and carved the spider for Jonathan, and Mommy carved the happy face for Caroline and ghost for Joe.

Pumpkin Picking at the Cider Mill

We LOVE Louisburg Cider Mill and their cider donuts. As fall is somewhat settling in, we have been wanting to go. AND, we needed pumkins to carve for Halloween, so we headed south to the cider mill!
Daddy making sure the pumpkin is "just right."

Joe between bites of some yummy cider donuts!

Update in Pictures

Now that school is in full swing for the kids and myself (I work 20 hours at KS State School for the Deaf), we have been busy but getting into a groove with our routine. Here is what we have been up to since August:

CROWN CENTER JUNGLE EXPERIENCE

RIDING OUR BIKES:

The kids ALL learned to ride WITHOUT training wheels on Oct. 1st! SO proud of them. I took video on THomas' phone and haven't downloaded it yet.

PAINTING OURSELVES :-/

BIG GIRL BIRTHDAY PARTY:

Caroline LOVES our neighbors, the "big girls." We "happened" by their house one afternoon and they invited her to participate in the arts and crafts part of one of the girls birthday party. She was in Heaven!
