Tuesday: I came out to cut wood and the kids were playing "Mother May I?" in some musical form. They had to sing to move forward. They invented the game on the spot and were cracking up during some parts.
My current cutting spot. I have the best view. That's why I could cut wood all day. It's so relaxing and peaceful and feels like the whole world is mine.
We had our first freeze. It got down to 32 and almost broke records of lows of 30 back in 1948. I was scared it would always get this cold this early but was relieved to hear it hasn't in 70+ years. I'm not ready for cold weather yet but thankfully it was just 3 days and it's back to mid 70's for highs and mid 40's for lows.
The pumpkin leaves froze but the pumpkins themselves look fine.
Samuel stacking apples for fun.
Thursday: First frost at the golf course by seminary. It didn't frost at our house, gratefully, but it was beautiful when I was out walking.
Deer eating our pumpkins.
The tiniest woolly worm I've ever seen!
Class picture of all the pumpkins we picked so the deer wouldn't eat them. We picked 42 and left 12 good ones to see if they'd ripen and 11 already eaten ones.
Kait and Kenna picked some of the baby pumpkins just developing and they'd be their dolls' pumpkins.
Talea going to bed after the dress rehearsal so excited for the first show tomorrow!
She's the rooster in Shrek Jr.
Friday: While the rest of us were playing and working outside the 3 little kids decided they'd carve pumpkins all by themselves. So they went and picked one and started carving! I came in and discovered them carving away and having a great time.
It's looking like fall around here.
Talea loved being in her very first play. She came home really happy and excited to do it 3 more times over the weekend.
Friday night Lori drove up to see Shrek and the primary program. One thing she wanted to do was make Halloween sugar cookies so we did before going to bed.
Saturday: Lori and I went and saw Shrek Jr the Musical. It was very well done. All 6 kids performed their lines flawlessly, the mics all worked, and costumes were fantastic.
Talea the rooster had a scene with just Fiona which was really fun for her.
Thomas is the pig on the left. Makenna is the ugly duckling towards the right.

Makenna: Ugly Duckling

She was so cute walking in to change out of her costume.
Sunday: Picnic lunch at the church after the primary program. Only 4 kids in it this year and they all had long parts and did great.
