Punkin' Time

Remlinger Farms

It was our second year of going to Remlinger Farms and it was just as fun - maybe even more - than last year. From the train ride around the farm to antique car driving, boats, goats and mini carnival rides. The crowd pleaser was the hay maze and jumping pit, which we hit up twice.

Decorating for Halloween

Just missing the cats

A rare sight to have all three in one frame. Calvin was actually racing up and down the stairs, but we couldn't get him in the picture. 

Game time

Avery loves this cherry counting game and after she won a couple rounds against Mama and Thomas she decided to start counting in Spanish. 

Saving pennies pays off

Avery has been collecting change she finds around the house (including in the couch cushions) for quite some time. At school this week they started math exercises using a pool of 30 bears and then grouping them into fives to learn some simple addition. We did the same thing with quarters, nickels and dimes here at home. We took $11 to the store and found we could buy two Barbie outfits! Math is fun!

Bookworm part II

Finally, a shelf worthy of Avery's most prized possessions. Daddy built it and we all pitched in to help paint.
