At The Park
We’ve been enjoying great weather these last few days.
What better thing to do in great weather that play at the park?
Flying Leaves
Daniel, incredulously, “Mommy, do leaves FLY?”
Me, “No, they fall off trees.”
Daniel, looking out the window, “But I just saw a leaf flying!”
note: we are enjoying a rather blustery day.
Trick or Treat
After our “spooky” dinner the kids got into their costumes, and we went trick or treating around the neighborhood.
A cute little bee, a red power ranger, and a clown. (he kept rubbing the paint off his face)
“Look what I got!”
The Haul!
Halloween Dinner
I decided to cook a special “Spooky” dinner on Halloween.
We had witches brew,
dinner cooked in a pumpkin
(ground beef, rice, water chestnuts, and red pepper)
with mummies on the side,
and for dessert, …..
Pumpkin carving part 2
Yes, I am going to drag this Halloween thing out as long as possible – I don’t have anything else right now to blog about.
Ben gets his stick-out-the-tongue-thing from my mom. It tickles my heart every time I see him do it, and think of her.
Yes, I do wash his face. Just not very often.
The finished product.
Pumpkin Carving part 1
Pumpkin guts are slimy and fun to squish.
Hannah doesn’t know quite what to think of her pumpkin.
The Pumpkin Patch
After finding our way through the maze, the three kids all picked out a pumpkin.
Ben’s
Daniel’s pick
And Hannah with her pumpkin
The Corn Maze
I’d never had the pleasure of getting lost in a corn maze until I moved down here to the lower 48 states. That might be because corn doesn’t grow in Alaska. 
Anyway, my family loves fall and all the fun fall activities that are associated with it. Saturday we went to a corn maze/pumpkin patch.
Entering the maze.
Spooky!
Do I really have that many wrinkles? UUUGGG!
My cute little buddy!

Geo-Caching
1. Go online to the Geo-Cache website, print the coordinates of the cache.
2. Get together with some friends and start on up the trail.
3. Head off the trail, up the hill when the GPS points that way.
4. Continue up
and up
and up, until the mouth of a cave in the rocks is visible.
5. Enter the cave, and discover… the treasure!
7. Gather every one around, and take something out of the tub, and put something else in. We brought hot wheel cars to trade.
8. Sign the log book and start the steep trip down.
