Today is my 32nd birthday. Happy Birthday to me! Here's a picture of me on my third birthday. My mom was great about making us cute homemade birthday cakes...a tradition I have tried to carry on with my own kids.

Here's Ben and Natalie enjoying a FHE treat before bed. We went out "Booing" for FHE. A fun tradition we like to start each year. We take some treats to a few neighbors with a poem declaring ourselves a Halloween phantom and asking them to share it with someone else. Ben and Natalie loved watching Daddy leave the treats and then run as fast as he could to our getaway spot.

Fall has definitely taken over Summer with cooler temperatures. The cool mornings have lead to this scene...the fire going to warm up two little ones.

Yep...it's lightly snowing on Sept. 30th! It has been unseasonally cool this past week. Brr!

It's UEA weekend this week and Ben starts his first off track session. Bryan also had the day off and so we headed up to a Harvest Carnival at Hogle Zoo. We enjoyed seeing the baby elephant and playing a few games.

We've been pulling out the garden and flowers this week since the frost put an abrupt end to their beauty. We grew some giant sunflowers and here is the harvest from that adventure. They were fun to watch grow but a bit of a pain to take care off and then to pull them out as well. We're going to dry out the flower heads and harvest some seeds for roasting. Does anyone like sunflower seeds? We've got plenty!

We put out our Halloween decorations this weekend. In our collection, we have several items that spell Boo. Natalie pointed to one after Ben had been reading them all and said..."Boo...hey that's my name!" Awhile ago, Bryan's Dad started calling her NannyBoo and then lately just Boo. It was cute how she made the connection.
