Pictures from October

We've had a lot of fun this month. The weather has been wonderful and we've enjoyed being outside as much as possible.

Dandelion fluff: not delicious

Oh, right, we're supposed to BLOW this stuff off, not eat it.

We went on a firestation tour and Luke got to sit in a police car...

AND a helicopter!

We have a new walking/biking trail behind our neighborhood, which we've been exploring.

Other Boy spent some time here and I was reminded of how much fun these boys have together. Here, they were making up stories using flannel boards.

We painted pumpkins...

...And ourselves.

We toured a local dairy farm, where Luke had his face painted as a cow and went on a hayride and watched chickens eating a snake. (Um. Did you know chickens ate snakes?)

The State Fair came to town and Luke really enjoyed this huge slide.

He and Other Boy got to go on some rides by themselves!

And of course, feeding goats is always fun.

They don't really look like they're two years apart, do they?

We went to an insect-themed tea party. My boys ate waaaay more than their fair share of snacks.

I took the kids to the zoo one Saturday. Here they are, being "unhatched birds," as Luke says.

Looking very chimp-ish at the zoo.

Such fun!

This is apparently Luke's favorite new outfit. He got so many compliments on the bow tie that he wore it again the next day...or two.

...Stay tuned for Halloween pictures!
