Driveway movie with our neighbors

We all watched "The Wizard of Oz" at our driveway movie fest with our neighbors, the Sontags. So fun!

Highwood Pumpkinfest & making pumpkin crunch muffins

It has been on our "list" to visit the Highwood pumpkinfest for a few years now, but we've never made it. This year, we stopped by for a little bit and the kids loved it. It was a beautiful, sunny, warm afternoon, so the kids loved seeing all of the jack-o-lanterns and carving their own. 

Clayton carved SIX jack-o-lanterns. He just kept carving and carving. He would have done more had I not told them we had to go.

Cub scout Tigers - making bird houses

Austin's cub scout den got to make real birdhouses at their October meeting. They had a blast using real tools and constructing a real bird house.

driveway fire pit

Yep, the folks on Paddock do firepits in their driveways... in the FRONT yard.
Keepin' it classy ya'all.

October 3 - Cub scout campout

October 3rd was our cub scout campout at Camp Oakarro.  

 Tiger leader Mr. Batka taught the boys all about hiking safety, animal tracks, and the nature around them.

 

The wolves also went on a hike and learned about the animal and plant life around the area, as well as fire safety.  

Caroline was thrilled to have Bella and Katie there!

The weather called for cold, but 0% chance of rain.  Of course, it did rain and proceeded to drizzle for the next few hours. 

We stayed through the campfire, but by the time it got dark, everyone was cold, wet, and more than happy to come home. 

To allow them to still "camp", we set up the tent in the family room and the kids did some indoor camping. THe tent pretty much took up the entire family room!
