we've had our first round of fall colds in the house

stuffy noses and coughs

so happy for the weekend to have some down time and hopefully beat these colds

we made a quick impromptu trip to the pumpkin patch

there is a new pumpkin patch that opened about 2 miles from our house

it is just a pumpkin patch... no fanfare

just walk out in the field and pick your pumpkins

perfect!

a little saturday pinterTEST kitchening

monster cookie bars {not great but i think they need to be baked for less time so they'd be chewier}

cookie dough dip {swoon. amazing. could eat it with a spoon.}

sweet and salty snack mix {who knew fritos with chocolate were good}

mauryn slept with braids in on saturday night

she woke up on sunday with a little wave in her hair

she walked up to me, swung her little head, and said "i have hair like taylor swith"

a little someone in my house has a birthday coming up

i've been in denial that she will be 5

i've put off the party planning

then someone kept bugging me about her party so i had to climb out of denial and get on the party planning train

mauryn was invited to a mickey and minnie themed birthday party

the party favors: minnie ears and a t shirt

awesome!

i have my fellow homeschool moms over once a month for food and fellowship

this was our spread this month

i ordered morgan a few new things for fall

it's always a gamble when i order her clothes without her approval

this time all items made her cut

we had our last day of fall break on tuesday :o(

we did a little bit of school but most of the day was relaxed

we decided to celebrate our last day by going to see Lion King 3D

it was hilarious watching mauryn reaching out to touch everything

hello free sonic

fill out an online survey and get a free route 44 drink

you don't have to ask me twice

landon and mauryn needed an activity one afternoon

they decided to paint their pumpkins

painting pumpkins in the sunshine = happy happy kids

phase 2 of orthodontic treatment has started

full set of braces

landon has developed a love for all things star wars in the last year

when i saw there was a stars wars lego advent calendar i knew it would be perfect for him

now the challenge will be to keep him out of the calendar until december

landon's christmas list

posted on the wall in front of my desk

he also has his list on the white board in the school room

 pretty sure i've got an idea of what he would like

at least this week as his list seems pretty fluid at the moment

changing whenever he finds something new or different

how was your week?
