Yep, we carved pumpkins this afternoon. Which basically means that the girls each scribbled drew a face on a pumpkin, and Adam and I did our best to carve them as ordered. I think we all did a pretty good job.

We ventured a little further afield on Monday (a day off for all of us) and headed to Bates-Morse Mountain in Phippsburg. It's an uphill hike, and we stopped a lot to look at mushrooms, and check out tree sap, and pick up pretty leaves, and look at puddles. We were starting to think about…

Every fall, Adam plays a game with the girls where he shakes skinny trees so that their leaves fall, and the girls scramble around to try to catch them. Grace is (finally) getting pretty good at this, but Tess is not so lucky. After watching Grace catch several leaves on Sunday, Tess was was sad…

Saturday morning, we told the girls we were going on a hike, and to please get dressed appropriately. So they came down dressed like this — and calling themselves the "pretty girls." I suppose when you're going to take a hike at the height of the fall colors, you want to dress as beautifully as…

We've gone through another season of visiting Toots as often as possible. This summer, Grace was able to read the flavor choices all by herself, and Tess was able to order all by herself (except that she's not actually tall enough to see over the counter). Thankfully, they are years away from being able to…

Farm animals, fiddle music, and crafts? Yeah, that was pretty much awesome.

Fall, I think I love you already.

My littlest monkey has not been very cooperative lately about getting her picture taken. Perhaps she's just gotten tired of the mamarazzi, or maybe she's just being four. At any rate, I miss seeing her sweet little smile in my photos. But on Sunday at the beach, I was able to catch her just having…
