Boo at the Zoo 2011

A stroll through Halloween memory lane: 2010, 2009, 2008,

Pumpkin Patch

The pumpkin patch has definitely changed since I was growing up. Agri-tourism has gone a off the deep end for Halloween! My work hosted an event at Faulkner's Ranch for families (and others) who wanted to explore the adventureland farm for some fun in the fall!

We did see a bison, a few goats and petted a bunny rabbit. The did have a corn maze (devasted by the danny drought and frosty freeze). But the most fun was had in the bounce house, race cars, water pumps and mommy got to go on a modified hayride with her kids!

It isn't all about the pumpkins and apple picking anymore. Going to Sekapp Orchard in the fall is one of my favorite childhood memories. I remember picking apples and using the apple peeler and grater to make applesauce with my mom. Putting the cherry red hots in was my favorite part! While there was no applesauce making at our house this year (unlike last year's fun), we still enjoyed our day at the farm! 

First Haircut

I decided it was finally time to get Lyla's haircut.

BEFORE

She was quite serious throughout her cut. Even though she watches me cut Tommy and Steven's hair, I still don't think she knew exactly what to think of Cindy or her scissors.

AFTER

Barely any hair was removed but I was relieved to not have to constantly brush her hair out of her eyes. We also may recieve a bonus for this cut...Cindy told me that her hair might grow more now that the baby ends are gone. Geesh, wish I'd known that sooner!

Our router is working!

Yeah, internet is back! Look for some new posts soon!

Symmetry

Steven's brain works just like mine and Tommy's. He is so orderly with his block construction and his coloring patterns. It is amazing sometimes how he fits things together!
