Pumpkin Time! 2013

Yeah, Its finally Fall! Even though we still have days in the 90's, the air is starting to feel cooler and the mornings have a cool moisture that feels like my childhood. So as the season begins, so does the baking. 
Naomi really wants to be in "Tom Sawyer" the musical at Center Stage Dance Academy. After last years expensive adventure of Competition Dance Team, we decided that if Naomi wanted to do the show she would have to earn the money herself. So we started a bake sale: pumpkin spice muffins and nutella fudge. Both delicious. We're going to have to sell a lot of cupcakes and fudge to make it to the $ gaol, but we'll do it. 



Since Ryan's calling in church is in Young Mens over the boy scouts, he gets to be a part of all their fundraisers. So now we buy our pumpkins from the boy scouts each year. The girls and I went to Walgreens on Foothill to Ryan and the boys to pick out the 4 they wanted. I love that it was a bright sunny day, squinty faces and all.




We had our first rainy day of the season, 2 days after it was 90 degrees. But it was fun to put rain boots on, grab some umbrellas and pick up the girls from school. Isla Terrill came to play and got to come with us.



 While Naomi is at Gymnastics, the other two girls and I usually go across the street to the Arcadia Public Library, as I've probably posted before. But this particular day was fun. Heidi came home from school and redressed herself to match Audreys outfit. When we got out of the car to return some books and movies, they were so giddy that they ran up the walkway holding hands.



Bradoaks Elementary School has an amazing Fall Fundraiser every year. Since we have friends that go to school there, we decided to go and support and have a family night out. Here are a few things the girls did.
                            The skeleton crank: you have to crank the rope to pull the skeleton in.

 She looks bothered, but she loves to have her hair sprayed and her face painted.
The girls played a bunch of games and won a bunch of little trinkets, but it was a quick easy night out!
