A picture a day

I am an awful blogger.  I have decided to try a new approach to the blog to see if just maybe I can improve my blogging skills.  I have seen a lot of people post one picutre a day on their blogs and that is it.  One a day.  I think maybe even I can handle one a day!

DAY 1

Abby and Connor love jumping.  We jump off the couch, off Abby's bed, on Abby's bed, into our summer inflatible pool.  Their favorite is jumping off our bed into every possible pillow we can find in the house, and a few comforters for added softness.  We do this every night before and after bath.  So much for a nice calming bath to get them ready for a deep night of sleep.  I love the expression on Connor's face as he counts to three before the big jump!

Trick or Treat

Abby had a great Halloween party at her school and I was lucky enough to be the parent helper. I found these adorable oranges that you carve like pumpkins and fill with fruit on the family fun website. They were a big hit!

Trick-or Treating in Granville is always an experience. The center of town closes a few streets and families and teens take over. There are haunted houses and haunted schoolbuses and an obscene amount of candy. This is definitely a time when we appreciate the benefits of the small town that we live in.

We love fall

We have been outside every opportunity we get. This fall has been pretty rainy in Ohio, but being back reminds me of falls growing up in Ohio. The leaves are so beautiful and the air so crisp. I love sharing this with my kids.

Pumpkin Time

We went to a local farm to pick our pumpkins this year. If you showed up in costumes admission to the festival was free. Of course since we are always looking for a deal we obliged. After spending some time picking out the perfect pumpkins, we went home and spent the day with our cousins carving pumpkins, raking leaves, and making candy corn cookies. What a beautiful fall day!
