October

 

I love October, especially in Idaho.  During the first part of October, I took the kids to my Mom's for a photo shoot in their Oregon Ducks shirts.  

Then we had our traditional leaf fight.  Moving from Arizona, my kids had not had a chance to play in the leaves before we moved.  They love to do it every year. 

 

We went out for Mexican food for my birthday and everyone tried on the sombrero.

We ended up with a lot of pumpkins from our garden this year and so we got to carve home grown pumpkins.

In the Fall, I helped to teach a tinkering class at the elementary school.  One of the things we did was to build an electric motor.

 We had a lot of fun with Halloween costumes this year.  Quin was Thomas the Train.

 Truman got the homemade costume this year.  He was Boulder the Rescue bot.

 Sterling was an astronaut.

 Avalon was a peacock.

 Aaron was a man with a head in a jar.

 We could not find a good helmet for Sterling, so we made our own from paper mache.
