 Getting the perfect pumpkin

The crew right before we left....

This weekend has been fall break for us. There was no school on Monday or Tuesday, and we've taken full advantage of the time off. Saturday, the kids spent the night at Grandma Pam and Grandpa Mike's house, apparently getting to stay up late watching a movie and sleeping in the "golf" room (the new room my dad added on in the basement with his golf simulator.) Sunday, was a gorgeous day weather-wise and the kids played outside pretty much all day. I think for most of the afternoon, every kid on our block was in our backyard. They went back out after dinner (in the dark) and rode scooters and played with even more kids (some new neighbors). All the parents congregated in a drive-way and talked. The kids were all bummed when we made them go inside and go to bed at 8:30. Monday was another fun day - and another gorgeous weather day. We had lunch with the Niebuhrs, and played outside a lot. Then we hit the pumpkin patch for the first time this season. The multiples club hosted a cook-out dinner at Roca Berry Farm, which is an annual tradition. The kids had a great time and even went through a few haunted houses with Brian. We roasted hot dogs and s'mores, took a hayrack ride and picked 5 pumpkins for carving! We got home and made them take a shower, since they all smelled like wood smoke. They conked out as soon as their heads hit the pillows at 8:30. Good thing we don't have school again tomorrow!! The only thing we have to do tomorrow is a quick dentist appointment in the morning. We are going to lay low and recouperate so we're all ready to start back to school on Wednesday and get our 2nd quarter of the school year off to a great start.  Happy Fall everyone!!
