We got BOO'ed this week!  My kids were super excited.  It is a cute idea!  We had to Boo two other families secretly.

The kids collected berries and acorns one day. 

                                    Meg's BIRTHDAY!!  We made Junie B. Jones cupcakes for her class!

 For her birthday she asked for a tent, and some fancy clothes.



WE are enjoying fall!  It warmed back up this week and the air conditioner was back on.  I think it might be one of the final times we turn it on!

I found this WWII helmet at the thrift store.  I knew Owen would love it!  This guy has hardly taken it off since he got it.  Here he is asleep with it on in the car.  Such a neat kid and is passionate about all things WWII!  I was a hero for finding this!  Being a hero is a great feeling!

We visited the Truman Presidential Library over the weekend.  The kids really enjoyed it because they had several activities they could participate in!
He lived in a beautiful house.  The house is just a mile or so from the library.
 
                        This famous saying was on his desk in The White House, Meg liked this.

                                                        Here we are with Harry, Bess and Margret!

              Meg lost another tooth!  She was excited to go to school and share her "toothy tale".
Pascal's office got together at a local pumpkin patch.  There seemed to be a common dress up theme amongst his co-workers.
 Owen is a flag guy!  We got this one awhile back but he plays with it outside all the time!
                         Because we don't have cable the kids watch old movies on Roku.  They watched the "Mighty Ducks" and were super into it!  They were inspired to get hockey sticks.  Here they are out at 8:00 on a Saturday morning when it was 38 degrees!

Owen has an awesome soccer coach this season.  Just 3 games left!
  
                                          Here are a few more shots from the night we visited the pumpkin patch.






 
This last photo is totally in the running to make it on our Christmas card this year.  It's a winner....don't you think?
