Over the river and through the woods

Sunday it was 70, which was amazing, so we took a bike ride through the "forest park" by our house:


Well, two people rode. One locomoted on his Spiderman scooter.


It was just spectacular. Hard to believe that in a month, everything will be cold and brown til spring!

Pumpkin Party

Trucko went to his friend Gabby's pumpkin patch party this weekend. She was turning three.

He got his face painted with a pumpkin.

He got to be a witch with two of his favorite ladies.

He got to ride a pony named Lightning (as in, yes, McQueen).

Plus, pumpkin decorating, pizza and cupcakes and general preschooler mayhem. A wonderful party!

Cheertime

The local high school sponsors a cheerleading clinic each fall. The girls have 2 hours of practice where they learn cheers and a dance on a Friday afternoon. Then, they come back for the home football game and get to cheer on the sidelines for the first half. This was Noodle's first year doing it, and I am certain we will be back. So fun! And what a group of amazing high school girls to put this on for the little ones.

uh-MAZE-ing

Nothing says fall in the midwest like a corn maze. The Liberty Corn Maze in Liberty, MO, is the largest corn maze in Missouri. It's about 45 minutes from our house

Truck made it through one (of the 4) maze and declared it boring, so I took him next door to the pumpkin patch. Couldn't blame him. At his height, that's a whole lot of, well, corn.

The big kids did three mazes, for a total of almost SEVEN MILES. Like I said, a LOT of corn.
