Autumn is here and that means the pumpkin patch!
Brendan took a cute picture of this smiling piglet
...and this GIANT pumpkin
Emily wanted to go to STEM day at Crystal Bridges
And I got some help this year making lots of applesauce with my favorite MacIntosh apples.
Emily went hiking with her Girl Scout troop at Park Springs Park
And carved a cute pumpkin which was enhanced by the plastic teeth their Uncle Lee made using his 3D printer
Emily lost a tooth and was very concerned that the Tooth Fairy would take good care of it
For Halloween, her school had a dress up day but the costume had to be a book character, so we scrambled together a quick "Fancy Nancy" costume that turned out really cute!
We also did a volunteer shift packing nutritious food for countries that are in food crisis
Another Girl Scout meetup; this one at Ozark Natural Science Center. Brendan tagged along with us to this interesting place!
Veteran's day at school; Emily brought a photo of her Grandpa with several of his brothers and sister who served
We got a tiny dusting of snow
Went to see a movie at the theater with the Wittenbergs, and squeezed in some other fun with them, too!
Thanksgiving - Brendan used his timer to get some much needed family portraits
Ready to get on their float for the Christmas parage
Making gingerbread cookies for Santa (and maybe a few for us, too)
Christmas Day Nerf gun war!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
