Long Overdue

Here's some goings on that happened back in October

Mom & Dad wanted to take a "Foliage Ride" one Sunday after church. For some reason it was just me and Carla (not sure where my younger brother was) but were not thrilled. I brought my laptop to work on homework and Carla brought something to read/write/draw/whatever it was :)

Also in October, I went to a friend's house for a hayride. Each person was supposed to bring a younger kid and a pumpkin for them to decorate.

Stringing the donuts

The kids had to eat them off the string without using their hands

Bending under the string...

...or jumping over it

It was a fun night!

Soon I will post about our Christmas's, hopefully before too long! :)

School starts Monday :(

Snowstorm & Apple Cider Making

We now have a couple inches of snow on the ground and it's only the beginning of November! I don't have any pictures but you can read a short article about it here.

Moving on...on Saturday October 20th, we went to Sonny & Verona's to make apple cider. They have an old cider press that you have to crank.

Dad had surgery the day before so this was his job :)

My alarm is going of at 2 am tomorrow so I can get up and get ready for a 6:20 am flight out of Boston. I'm going out to Faribury, IL with a group of girls for Invite-a-Friend weekend. Should be fun!

Vermont

The weekend of the 13th and 14th of October, we went up to our friends house in Vermont. He was building a green house thing and Evan and Dad helped along with a few other men. The green house thing is really big!

The kids digging a hole "to China" :)
