Pumpkin Carving

Audree's grade had a pumpkin carving night at school. We brought in our freshly picked pumpkins and went to work.

Here are the results!

In their natural environments




After the carving we were treated to some excellent Halloween themed songs

Audree sent to the principal

At Audree's school good behavior is rewarded with "caught-you-shining" tickets.

If you collect enough you can redeem them for various prizes.

Audree turned in 40 tickets for the chance to cut her principals tie off and wear it the rest of the day.

Pumpkin Patch

The girls went to two different pumpkin patches this year. First the Powell Pumpkin Patch with Audree's Brownie troop, then the Gardner Pumpkin Patch as a family.



Here is our haul

Skipping rocks

We've been taking the girls to a nature center near by. They love skipping rocks in the creek and catching frogs.

Carb up

Juliette finally found her apatite. Here she is training.

I dressed myself!

not sure exactly what is going on there...

Horse Lessons

Audree has been doing so well at horse lessons.
First she rode Abowe, then Gidgit and Ricky here she is on Buggsy.

She loves doing this so much!
