It's FALL, the most wonderful time of the year (except Christmas!). I truly love the fall-- the colors, the cooler mornings, that it's okay for me to wear cozy sweaters, sleep under blankets, and burn scented candles (meanwhile, Kelvin still likes to sleep with the fan on).
The weather is starting to change a bit-- we had a very rainy Saturday morning with Iver's most recent soccer game, in which his team lost amidst all the sliding and muddy falling to Jon's team (2-5). The kids all needed warm baths after playing/spectating!
In the afternoon, it dried up and we joined some friends at Huddie's Harvest Pumpkin patch.
Scarecrows
We started with the corn maze, in which I got lost last year! Iver and Levi (4th grade) led the way out.
Giant sunflowers!
The kids hunted for their perfect pumpkins to take home...
... and played with "weapons," predictably.
I thought these were interesting!
Iver's class took a field trip here (walking distance from their school) a couple of weeks ago but his white, bumpy pumpkin got stolen (or lost)! He was on the hunt for more cool ones.
Fall is busy in these parts-- the kids are still doing cross-country (which ends with Championships this week), soccer (Iver) and have lots of school events (AAH! THE EMAILS!!!), including Halloween and Dia de los Muertos activities (additionally, last week, Iver went on a two-night overnight school field trip to Wolf Creek Education Center). My work schedule and call structure is changing in a couple of weeks, starting in November, and I've had a bazillion meetings about the transition. Nevertheless, I still really enjoy the season.
