Girl Scout Tea
The girl and I went to a Girl Scout tea. It was very cute. They put on a nice event and the girl and her friends had fun.

The Pumpkin Patch
A friend called us this week and asked if we wanted to go to a local pumpkin patch. This particular patch has a cannon that shoots pumpkins. Well, since hubby is all boy, the answer was "YES".
Here are pics of the boy and girl shooting pumpkins. It was louder than I expected. This is the field they shot at. If you look closely you can see a couple of targets. The most exciting one being the old truck in the background. The boy hit it several times, including making it in the open door. The girl also hit the targets/truck several times
After the pumpkin cannon, we went on a hayride through the corn fields. It was cute, there were creatures everywhere. Including the Mum Butterfly garden. We all had a great time. Though, it did make us miss the annual hayride on Aunt M's farm.

The Last Week
I realized today that we haven't blogged with updates on what the kids are doing. It has been a busy couple of weeks. Our Sundays start fairly early. The boy had football from 9-11 in the morning. He is on the Patriots this season. One season, he hopes to be on the Steelers.
Pre game practice.
Yesterday, I took the kids to a pumpkin patch about a mile from our house that had a bunch of inflatable jumpers. They had a good time.
Later that day, the girl had a brownie meeting with some sorority sisters at a local university. It was a good fit, the college girls talked about bullying and peer pressure. The little girls were very engaged with the sorority sisters.
Last Saturday, we took the kids to the beach, since it was in the high 80's at our house. You can see they had to wear jackets, as the temperature was in the low fifties at the beach. Once the marine layer burned off, it was gorgeous. they got in the water. The girl boogie boarded (big surprise) and the boy played with a friend he made at the beach. If you look closely, you can see the boat race the kids are watching. Soon after the kids got in the water a pod of dolphins came by.
This is the kids before we went to the beach. As you can see by the boy's lack of attire, it was a warm morning.
After lunch, we hung out by the marina and watched the boats. They had a regalia race. The spinnakers were so pretty. They all had different colors.
