The Coming of Fall

So far, Autumn has been a lot of fun.

This was our first year doing the Corn Maize. It was so much fun, it was even in the 40's! Chilly! It was awesome to be able to go with my sister and her fiance Kent. The fire pit was very warm!

~

AHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Here comes the scary stuff!!

Mark was able to come down for the weekend. We took Ryan and Kailen to Netherworld, the #8 haunted house in America.

~

The kids decorated the house for Halloween.

Who's that little goblin?

We visited a Halloween store. Sugey wasn't into it very much.

This week we did lots of things.

One day we decided to play educational games instead of bookwork.

We also had National Pizza Day as part of our journaling.

Ryan did a report on the elements and she chose Oxygen.

Kailen's freshwater ecosystem.

Ryan's real life habitat.

She made a trap and caught a crawfish.

After a serious infection, Sugey was well enough to visit the creek again. I'm so glad he is ok.

An unknown flower that Kailen managed to "borrow" from our neighbor.

I really enjoyed knitting them.

I had to take a picture of this painting. While the kids were at art class, I got a chance to visit a local art gallery. Very interesting stuff. The smaller version of this piece was $3000.00. I doubt I could afford one this size!
