Happy Halloween!

Beautiful baby vampire bumblebee

We had our best Halloween party yet! Not too many awesome pictures, but a few are posted on fb.

Pumpkin carving with Papa

Stoneyridge Farm 2011

I came along and helped on Haven's first field trip of the year. It was a fall farm day, and the kids had a great time. My group of kids to watch was Kylie S., Haven, and Hanna, pictured below. There's Leo too!
After getting lost in the corn maze, choosing a pumpkin, eating lunch and playing on the playground, Mrs. Potter's class had a group photo by an old truck.

Coloring

Coloring of all kinds happens a lot around here. Our dining room table is always a mess of drawings and crayons.
Yesterday the girls got Halloween cards in the mail from Grandpa Bob. (Thanks Grampa Bob!!!) Haven colored hers and decided to give it as a gift to her teacher.


Audrey also did some coloring.

Such an amazing reader!

Haven read the entire 'Goodnight Moon' book to Audrey, it was both amazing and precious. The only problem was that Haven's arms aren't quite long enough to reach around Audrey and hold the book, and Audrey insists to be on the lap when being read to.

Grammies Quick Visit

Grammie always gets a four day weekend the third week of October, and this year she took the train out for a quick visit. The girls were so happy to see her (Audrey calls her 'nam-ee-nam') and Mama and Papa got to go out for a fun date. Happy Birthday Grammie, see you again soon!

A ride on the biggest rocking horse ever!!

A fun day with our best friends

Just thought I'd share the funniest picture ever taken of a kid ever

Occupy Bellingham

Yesterday afternoon I took the girls to Occupy Bellingham. Though I have no delusions that our simple marching will change anything (how on earth could you ever get rich people to give up their money or power?)there is great beauty in revolution. Also, growing up where I did, isolated from the rest of the world, I very much appreciate the opportunity to be involved in things like this, and share with my girls the chance to stand up for their future and be a part of history.

Fall Farm Day

We drove our bus to Cloud Mountain Farm yesterday for their yearly fall festival. We had our best turnout yet with 20 riders! It was a great day, fun was had by all.
