more than one way to slice an apple

Chop it, chunk it, slice it, bite it, whatever works... the end result... one great apple pie.

Charlee Day

Halloween 2009. They should really just call it Charlee day. I'm certain the child loves sugar more than her family. (Also, Dillon lost the hat that goes with his costume earlier that day when he left it at the mall, total bummer!)

The Haunted Hay Ride

The hay ride is fun, but the after party is what we really dig. If you live in the area you have to check it out next year, we haven't missed it yet.

Pre-Halloween Festivities

First we had the kid's class parties. Then off to daddy's office for trick or treating.

Free

I love watching the kids run around on a windy day. It makes me remember WAY BACK when I was little and found so much joy in the simple things. I guess I still do.

Fall

Playing in the leafs with friends. You can't get through a fall in Cleveland without a few of these pictures.

A Few Fun Things

The kid's school always does a family fun night for the younger grades and then again for the older grades. I think I look forward to these events more than the children do. For the kindergartners this year they had Jungle Terry. The kids had a blast with the reptiles. Later that month Molly had her family fun night and they had a magician. He was hilarious and a little bizarre.




I got to go on a field trip with Dillon's class to Shaker Lakes Nature Center.
So beautiful in the fall.
