Fall is finally here
And we have the wardrobe to prove it!
(Ignore Charlotte's wild hair, I did brush it before she left for school.)

The week of the virus
Last week was not a healthy week for this house.
Sarah was the first to succumb.
Charlotte followed soon after.
Michael next. He was the hardest hit.
But Sarah took the longest to recover. Here she is alseep at the top of the stairs. Climbing upstairs must have worn her out.
Everyone is healthy now (including me who was spared this awful bug).

Straw Pyramid
One of the "farms" nearby has a straw pyramid out for kids to play on. So I took the girls today. Unfortunately, I underestimated how cold it was and we froze our tushies off. So we left after about 10-15 minutes. But we're going to go back tomorrow. Climbing a hay pyramid over and over again is apparently loads and loads of fun.

Computer Gamer
I'm not much of a computer game kind of person. And it's not something I've done a whole lot of with Charlotte. I figure eventually she'll figure it out. It's not something I've encouraged though. Little by little over time she has figured out how the laptop "mouse" area works and how to do stuff.
So far she only likes to play SuperWhy games. But I can see that she's taking an interest in Curious George games too. She also likes the Starfall website.
Check out the video below.

Hayride and Pumpkin Patch
Last week my me, my Mom, Sarah and Charlotte went with some of the kids from Charlotte's class, and her teacher, to a pumpkin farm for a hayride. It was a really nice place. A lot nicer than some of the other places we've been to in years past.
Of course we begin the with requisite pumpkin posing.
Then there were the chicken coops. Several. Each had a rooster in it. These roosters were very, very chatty with one another. Cockadoodledooooooo!
There were some pretty neat wooden play structures, like this bus. There was also a boat, a train, a castle, an old-fashioned truck. Really fun and different stuff.
Awww!
Check out my gourds, man...
Time for the hayride. One simply must throw hay on a hayride.
There's us!
There's Grandma!
Time to pick a pumpkin! Charlotte had to be redirected a million and one times to find her pumpkin. She was far more interested in the tractor wheels and heading over to the corn to pick corn.
Sarah found herself a cute little pumpkin right away. No! That's MY pumpkin!!
A photo op!
The way this turned out just made me laugh.
