Pumpkin Picking!
We took GLLAM to Jacquemin Farms today for hay mazes, homemade donuts -- of which I ate more than my fair share, and the search for the perfect pumpkin. Or six. I wish I could say this was a posed picture but no, Ron actually did piggy-back me through the patch.

New Uses!
It's good to know that when the farm fresh eggs are gone the egg carton can be re-purposed as a snack tray. Thanks Madeline. Genius!

Gearing Up For Soccer Saturdays!
While I do not advocate the kids inking up their bodies, I needed a way to keep track of the field numbers and game times for tomorrow. This was my solution.

Buh-Bye Fruit Flies
We have a plethora of fruit flies in the kitchen. Probably because we have a plethora of fruit and veggies. At any rate, here's an easy way to get rid of them. Put some vinegar in a dish and add a couple drops of dish soap. The dish soap helps to drown
Here's the end result. Hard to see but after an evening there were a million of them floating in just one of our containers. After 24 hours, there were no more flies.
Side note, be SURE and eliminate their breeding areas. I had to wash and put all fruit/veggies in the fridge and flush out the kitchen drain with boiling water.

First Day of School!
Middle school. Yes, that's right. 6th grade. I could cry.
4th grade, I'm going to blow through it!
Couldn't-be-sweeter-2nd-grader
1st day of Kindergarden. Ohmygoodness, I can't believe it.
My little preschooler. Yep, he's yelling, "PREEEEESCHOOL!"
Today starts our 5th year of homeschooling. I honestly thought I would be transitioning Madeline over at this point but this spring she emphatically said to us, "Why would I go to traditional school?!"
And off we go....
