We’ve been keeping really busy with fall activities. The kids had a fun time at the girls’ school party, complete with face painting:
We recently had a fun Fall Sunday School picnic, featuring games – and yes! More candy:
We’ve taken beautiful bike rides through the park with friends:
Jimmy saw what he called a “camouflage tree” – I thought that was a great observation, it did indeed look like a camo pattern!
And tonight I finally got around to taking the kids to pick out a pumpkin. The grocery store had to suffice, and they had very limited quantities, but we still got a good one. We even got to take a little hayride around the store grounds, albeit in the rain (Jimmy still declared it the “best day ever”)!
The girls were in charge of planning the jack-o-lantern design:

Here’s the final product, with Danny approval:
