My sister did pumpkin carving with the kids.  Meg loved it!

Thank you Aunt B!

 This week we ventured back to Ancient Greece.  Here are a few of our hands-on projects.

 The leaves here are so amazing.  We decided to do another leaf project.

 This one involved using a compass.  I had to help Meg with hers but Owen figured it out super quick and needed no help!

Owen was super excited to get a package from his best buddy Marvin!  I forgot to include a picture of  what was in the box.  It was a plate Marvin had painted and it said, "Friendship Plate" on it.  It was super cool!  

 For the first time in a very long time Meg got to celebrate her birthday with family!  and Mimi did it up big time.  Mimi started the day with a "mini cake" and singing birthday candle!

 She and Abigail playing Indians.

 Here is their "fire"

 The boys stick to airsoft

Here is the fantastic cake she got later in the day!  (somebody got into the icing!)

 Meg requested to play Bingo at her party.  She wanted to be the caller.

 Everyone was checking their boards!

 Time for the Piñata!!

What a day!!  Parties with family are great fun!!

This past week we did a few art projects with leaves.

 Meg's mosaic Mayan Mask

 We had to say goodbye to our best neighborhood friends as we are visiting family for a little while.

 A dear friend gave Owen her son's old hockey card collection.  Owen was thrilled!

 More friend shots!

More pictures with family to come!
