big and messy

We discovered a totally new and exciting place for us to visit every now and again. It's an open art space for kids to come and create whatever they would like. Totally free and tons of fun. For two hours. They had a blast and hopefully we will get back there again. It is right across the street from where the big boys get their haircut so now we have something fun to do while we wait for them.Yeah!!!

some october happenings

We bought a new car and Issabelle and Harkin were the first to ride in it.

We've gone for some walks in this beautiful fall weather.

There has been lots of dressing up to practice and decide what we should be for halloween.

Landon's last game of the season they got balloons and flowers to give their parents, then had a team dinner out to celebrate.

There is always more just not capturing that many pictures these days. Everyone is excited for halloween of course. We have some nice weather and have been mostly at home enjoying the outdoors. Soccer has ended which all boys are sad about, but there may be some indoor this winter.

sunday smiles

the echo

We went to the echo museum a few weeks ago. Just remembered the pictures. There was a neat exhibit about the 50 states, It was set up like trivial pursuit. The kids had fun and although it is a place mainly for the littles the big ones had fun this time with the trivia questions.

 It was our first "field trip friday" and last for several weeks, since my car broke down that day and we then spent the rest of september not going anywhere except soccer.

(I think field trip friday is only going to be every once in awhile and it will be more like fun friday.)

happy october

We went for a nature walk. A perfect way to finally welcome fall. It is chilly weather these days but I am enjoying it. The kids had a great time and the big boys were fun to just hang out with in the woods. It has been a long time since we have done this. I am hoping to make it a regular occurence. We are entering into hunting season so I just have to make sure we find trails where its not allowed.
It certainly felt great to be out in nature, just being with my kids.

sculpture park

We have this pretty neat resource right in our own town and I was able to convince my family to take a walk to check out all the sculptures for a nice sunday afternoon. I think it is pretty cool. This guy makes all these himself and then sets them up in the meadows for people to enjoy. The weather was nice and crisp, which felt so wonderful to be out in.

library fun

We went to several of the summer library programs but our most favorite are always with Mr. K. He is silly and has a great way of engaging the kids while teaching them a thing or two.
