Corn Maize

We took the kids to Marini Farms in Ipswich this afternoon, where we picked our pumpkins (one little one for Charlie to decorate for his school's "pumpkin patch" and one extremely giant one for us to carve, I am already dreading scooping out the insides of that one...) and went through the corn maize. The corn maize was extremely big and it got extremely tiring carrying Amelia through it, so we eventually cheated and asked one of the workers to direct us the fastest way out. The kids also enjoyed the "jumping pillow" or whatever they called it -- we let them go on twice, and both times Amelia had to be dragged off kicking and screaming when her ten minutes was up ("NOOO!! MY TURN!!! I JUMPY!!!") Charlie also got to try his hand at shooting potatoes out of a cannon before we left. Here are some pictures from the afternoon:

Apple Crisp

After two apple pies, two apple cakes and the above pictured apple crisp, I am happy to report we are officially down to single digit apples...

Charlie Ninja

After telling us for months that he wanted to be a ninja for Halloween, Charlie did not disappoint when we got to the costume aisle.

Long Weekend

With Mike and Charlie both off for Columbus Day we enjoyed the long weekend up in NH. The weather was perfect -- we enjoyed one last boat ride before the season ended and the boys enjoyed what is probably the final fishing of the year. Mike and Charlie even took a dip in the lake, but it looked awfully cold in there!! Here are a few pictures from the boat:

Picture Day

Hopefully the photographer had better luck capturing a smile than I did...

Home Made Apple Pie!

The best part? The kids won't touch it!
