I don't even know where to begin!

Where does the time go? We have had a few bouts of illness and mountains of leaves to rake, trick or treating to do (minus our sick Finley), candy to eat and beautiful weather to enjoy! The boys are already talking about our annual trip to Asheville, NC for Thanksgiving and they have been getting their Christmas lists ready, which really means after every commercial they catch they then run and put whatever it was on their list.

We just got Jack and Tucker's report cards this week and they were both excellent! Cooper and Finley are loving Montessori and Campbell has had a language explosion. This is a good thing and a bad thing. She is now repeating words, she especially loves playing this game with Tucker, but I'm wondering how long it's going to take for the boys to realize they can get her to say something naughty!

I have lots of pictures to share!

Here is a picture of our chicken:



and our mummy:



A fabulous picture of Finley in some of our many leaves:



Grandma brought CK a new "Melmo" potty tonight and here is a shot of it being put to good use:



Today was an absolutely gorgeous Fall day and we decided to take advantage of what will probably be the last of Indian Summer and go hiking at Mohican. Our trip was cut a little short by a Jackson migraine but we had a great time and ended our evening with grilling out and some sweet family time.





As if his bad headache wasn't enough, Jackson than ran his nose into a steel swing post!



Mmmmm snack time:




Todd, Tuck, Coop and Finn all climbed the fire tower (it's 80 feet tall!!!!):



We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day!
