It's the great Jazz Acorn, Charlie Brown!
It's Thanksgiving and I had a craft pack for making Thanksgiving placemats. Included in the pack were all kinds of fall foam cutouts, glitter glue and the placemats themselves. I thought, "How fun! We can make these and bring them to the Thanksgiving dinner party". Little did I know that Daddy would throw a wrench into my perfect little plan. His creative mind came up with the Great Jazz Acorn instead.
Daddy's.
Isaiah's.
Sammy's.
At lease Maddie had finished hers before she saw the acorn debacle. I guess that's what you get when you marry an independent thinker.

Always a favorite
I love this picture. At least we have real leaves now. In Fayetteville, Isaiah had to jump in a pile of pine needles!

Halloween 2009
We had 2 farmers, 1 princess and a Mario and Luigi roaming around Nonny and Papa's neighborhood on Halloween this year. When you grow up living on a major highway, it goes without saying that you have to use someone else's neighborhood for trick or treating. This year we were smart and pulled a wagon for the kids when they grew weary of walking from house to house. We would just roll right up to the house's door and they would jump out to collect their treats. I do declare, these kids don't even have to work for their candy these days!

George and family come for a visit
Uncle George and family came down for a long overdue visit. We were so happy to get to play with Jonathan and the boys again. All the kids got along so well, sometimes we forgot they were even around! Fin and Patrick are as rough and rowdy as our boys, which makes for some pretty cool wrestling matches. Mostly the uncles got tackled.
Of course, everyone had to hold cutie-pie Jon!
The cousins checking out the turkeys and the chickens.
The fall foliage was gorgeous.
Is there anyone under there?
The last night they were here, Isaiah was ready to have a little *help* getting his first wiggly tooth to come out. We tried the string method....
...but it didn't work. So finally Mommy grabbed a paper towel and yanked it out. Isaiah was mad for about 10 seconds but then he was full of pride to have been the first cousin to lose a tooth. Little did we know how close he came to being #2! His cousin Sean lost his first tooth the next morning!
Fin was watching the action very closely. He then drew a picture of the commotion!
One proud boy.

Good boy stuff
Isaiah found a magnifying glass and decided he would try to start a fire with the sun and some pine needles. With a little extra help from Daddy to get it set up, Isaiah sat in this position for a long time. It did smoke, but never ignited.
The turkeys are full-grown and ready for the chopping block. Seven full-sized turkeys are a bit too many for their run. We will need to cull the flock before spring mating season or we may see a couple of fights over the female turkeys!

Fall Harvest Continues....
We are trying to extend our growing season a bit by placing some old windows on top of our raised bed. We've sealed most of the holes with straw in hopes to have a few more weeks of fresh spinach.
And now... it's time to harvest our sweet potatoes!
We cured these potatoes for a couple of days and then placed them in boxes in the garage. I hope they keep until spring!
