First Weekend in October...

Thursday evening after swim class we hustled to the other side of town to the Homecoming Parade at Aunt Erin's school. We missed the first part when they left but got to see the whole thing when they came back. Ivy was checking out her stash of candy when we got there!

The soccer team threw out blow up soccer balls. The kids had fun playing with it while we waited for the parade to come back by.


Ivy did not want anything to do with the Spartan mascot!
Candy!!!
Saturday morning I got up early and went to a huge garage sale in IL. I met Chris, Ollie, Erin & Ivy at Dad's house for lunch. We checked out the swimming pool progress! Ollie had a great time playing in the dirt! This is little boy heaven!


Ivy is spinning the wheel on the wheel barrow.
Time for a mule ride...check out the baby & stroller in the back. Ivy won't go anywhere without a baby!

Time to get the tractor and pick up some tree stumps!


Daddy had to go back to work in the afternoon so Ollie & I took the long way home. We rode on the Brussels Ferry and the Golden Eagle Ferry. Ollie borrowed some binoculars from Papa so he could look for some Eagles on the way. Unfortunately he didn't see any but he still liked using the binoculars.
This morning Ollie talked me into carving a pumpkin. Who says you can only carve pumpkins closer to Halloween? We will just throw it away when it gets bad and buy a new one. Ollie did a good job scooping the goop out. He picked out a superhero pattern book and decided on the Ironman design. I had to poke a million holes in the pumpkin and then cut it out. I have never used a pattern before. I am pretty surprised at how well it turned out!
Ollie used my camera and took a pic of me getting the pumpkin seeds ready to bake.
Can you see Ironman?
