Fall Festival 2009

We went to a Fall Festival given by a local church and the boys had a blast as usual. From Hay Mountain to all the inflatables, free food, hayrides, getting to see a real Fire Truck and Police car (and sit inside both!), they really enjoyed the fall fun.

Last Bulldogs baseball game of the season :)

Nathan finished his second season of baseball a few days ago. He really enjoyed this year better than last year as he understood the game better and was able to improve a lot of his skills. The team always had a fun time together and we very gracious with each other. These are some pictures of the last game and a team picture after they received their medals. We can't wait for next season!

Homeschool Co-op

These were taken from a recent day at the Homeschool Co-op. On this particular day Nathan was dissecting an owl pellet to find out what the owl had most recently eaten (Yuck!) and he found it had eaten a rodent of some sort. Anthony enjoys assembling puzzles to help him remember his memory work. Mamaw was in town to visit with them and was able to go to school with them as a special treat :)

The Boys of Fall :)

Here are some individual pics of the boys taken on the front porch today. We recently decorated with some Fall items. Having been in Florida for 12+ years and no real Fall season we are truly enjoying the NC change of seasons. We love our boys very much :)

The Three Pumpkiteers!

It has been a gorgeous fall day today so we decided to take some fun pics outside today of the boys with the decorations. They get pretty tired pretty quickly of Mommy taking pictures but they were good for me today :) Aren't they handsome? The boys, not the pumpkins!!!

Fall Decorations

We recently put up some fall decorations around the house to help welcome the new season. The boys got new placemats with all sorts of fall harvest foods on them. We placed the floral cornucopia I made last fall on the kitchen table. Outside we put some mums and pumpkins on the front steps along with a Happy Harvest wreath on the door and a friendly scarecrow in our flower bed :) We had a fun time decorating together!

Fall Fare!

Yummy! We love fall food! Today during our morning school break we ventured outdoors - since we haven't seen the sun in days! - and ate apples dipped in caramel. This was a first for the boys and they really loved it. What's not to love? Sticky! Gooey! Sweet! We loved watching the changing leaves blowing in the wind and sharing a great snack together :)
