Halloween party and a little flag football.

The photo doesn't capture the "costumes" that well, but I was a flight attendant and Jim was a ramp worker. He even carried lighted cones to direct airplanes.
Sean is #3 in the football picture. Today's game will be a bit soggy, not like the beautiful sunny day we had last week!

Pumpkin patch and a ski swap

We found the best pumpkin patch last week! It had a ton of great activities for older kids...the boys loved the apple cannon and apple sling shot. There was also a zip line, obstacle course, spooky dark maze and a huge jumping thing called a bouncy pillow.
Then we came home, Jackson went to soccer practice, I hosted book club, we got up for a swim meet , hit the ski swap (that last pic isJackson and his friend Reese trying on some super cool hats) and finally went out for dinner and ice cream.
