Lauren and Elliott shared a sweet hug with Memaw after church on Sunday.

For FHE we made our annual trek to Shaake's Pumpkin Patch in Lawrence. It was a little chilly, but the sun helped keep us warm. The kids had a great time playing on the playground, wandering through the vines to find the perfect pumpkin, and watching the chickens eat old kettlecorn. I told the kids I wanted to get one quick family pic before we left, and he just couldn't handle it. Three year olds, am I right?!

I tried to be sneaky and get a better picture, but she caught me. Lauren likes to play school with the younger neighborhood kids and she has them sit on our outdoor loveseat while she bosses them around teaches them.

Lauren caught a wounded butterfly after school on Wednesday. I wasn't very excited about it, because butterflies are fragile, but it never tried to fly away.

I love this beautiful tree. I look at it everyday as we walk to school and it makes me feel good. We've had gorgeous fall weather this week and it doesn't seem to be going away anytime soon.

This house is on our Meals on Wheels route and Elliott and I see it each Friday. I call it the "Halloween House," and he calls it the "Spooky House." Regardless of what you call it, the yard is full skeletons at a carnival.

We spent Saturday afternoon at the zoo with the Ules. We wanted to have a fun family day in honor of Lauren's birthday the next day. It was perfect! The weather was idyllic, we were in good company, and the kids were well behaved.  We ran into Hagman twins, saw Elephant and Piggie, touched rays and rode the sky safari. It was a fun day.
