More fall fun

 This week was Jeff‘s birthday. We had one 4 candle and some regular candles, so Jeff decided he would be 4×11 years old instead of having enough candles lit to start an inferno 😁

We also did our now traditional annual Halloween cookie decorating,

and today we went out to the mushroom festival at the Mount Pisgah Arboretum. There was a scarecrow competition with many fun creations:

Lots of fall fun! 🍰🎃🍂🍄

 Today was a lovely day for a pumpkin patch visit:

More fun to come in one of this family’s favorite months!

8 is great

 Last week Maren turned 8! She celebrated three times, first with grandma/auntie/cousin,

then on her actual birthday, which was a school night, with just us,

then at a party with her new soccer friends:

And now, after a week with lots of cake, we are living with an eight year old. Happy birthday Maren! 🎂🎉🎈🎁🍰🧁
