This photo falls under the 'generally goofing off" category. I was working and the boys came into the office to show off Gavin's "rock star" costume. Fabulous!
We harvested an incredible amount of pears from a neighbor's tree. We had 4 groups picking pears and there were still more than we could possibly use.
Gwydion found the perfect pear.
Gavin helped too!
Break time!
Break time!
And then it was back to Grandma's house for playtime.
And a visit with the new chicks.
Gavin got some snuggle time with Grandma.
We were also lucky enough to have a short visit with Papa Rick. I don't have a lot of pictures because the boys were too busy running in circles. I could barely get them to sit still for this one!
And... another goof off pic. Michael got the boys a DDR mat, in anticipation of a long, cold winter of homeschooling. Watching them try it out was hilarious.
Toward the end of the month, I realized that we hadn't yet bought pumpkins, so off we went. Gwydion found a pumpkin drum.
Of course, both boys picked out pumpkins very quickly.
I tried to get them to sit still for a nice pic...
...but they really wanted to run circles around the hay bales.
and visit the scarecrow.
There were also sorts of animals to pet. Goats, sheep, alpacas, and even some oxen.
And ponies to ride. Gavin sang a song about riding a horse the whole time.
On the way home, we had ice cream. In Grandma's car!
At home, Papa helped with the carving. The boys insisted that the insides were too gooey and the needed gloves.
They both look a little grossed out, don't they?
But in the end the sticky mess was worthwhile.
Trick-or-treat!
