Would you care for a spot of tea?

Sarah had 8 of her girlfriends over for a Birthday Tea Party. They used real china, had finger sandwiches, and drank lots of decaf tea! Two hours later we had all our family over for a Family Birthday Party...no better way than to celebrate 6 wonderful years...Happy Birthday sweet Sarah.

Leaves

We have tons of leaves, which means lots of piles for jumping in...always fun.

Halloween

Luke the morning of Halloween

Sarah before school on Friday

Halloween was great this year because it was on a Friday, so it didn't matter how late we stayed out, or how late the kids went to bed!!

We started out the afternoon by going to Publix with some friends. Publix had several games set up in the store, and goodie bag stops along the way. We ran into some more people we knew there, and the kids loved it!

Next stop was a friends house for pizza, and then at dusk we met up with more friends and started our trek through the neighborhood. The kids had so much candy, they couldn't even carry their bags anymore - we knew we were done!

We had invited several people back to our house afterwards for a campfire and smores. Six families came, with their kids...and we had a wonderful time!! It was a late night, but it was great!!!

Another pumpkin patch trip...

Pumpkins

Sarah's school took all the Kindergarten classes to the Pumpkin Farm - Luke and I joined them. Kids went to the petting zoo, learned how pumpkins grow, took a great hay ride, and then got to pick their own pumpkin out of the pumpkin patch!

Sarah's science project

Sarah's class assigns a different kid each Friday to present a science project, which they pick out of a book. Last Friday, Sarah and I ( her assistant ) presented her class "Rainbow in a Jar." These pictures were taken off her class website - it was fun!

Fall

It is beginning to feel more like FALL lately! Yesterday we enjoyed being outside, without sweating, and swatting bugs off of us the whole time. Sarah grabbed her chair, sunglasses, and 2 of her magazines from LAST YEAR, and relaxed - while Luke carried out a container of cars to play with.
