Pumpkin Week 1

There's so much fun pumpkin stuff that we're doing two weeks of it.

Sorting pumpkins:

Painting rock jack-o-lanterns:

One of many trips to the pumpkin patch:

Decorating pumpkins:

And another trip to the pumpkin patch:

I am the vine, you are the branches.

Whoever abides in me and I in him,

he it is that bears much fruit,

for apart from me you can do nothing.

John 15:5

Fair Week

This was another week that really just amounted to a day, but it was still a lot of fun.

Police/Fire Week Part 2

The boys loved this activity. I drew fires on our driveway with sidewalk chalk and let the boys "put them out" with the hose. Nate still says, "I put out the fire," every time we pull out of the driveway.

And finally, on Saturday we went to the fire station open house.

God is our refuge and strength, and very present help in trouble.

Psalm 46:1

Police/Fire Week Part 1

This was a pretty busy week, so I'm breaking it up into two posts. Originally I hadn't planned on doing a Police/Fire Week since, let's face it, it's always Fire Week around here with Charlie's love of firefighters. But then I noticed our town's police and fire station open houses were scheduled for the same week, so I couldn't resist.
