Time to ToT!

Happy halloween! We started our ToT day all decked out on our way to daycare ...
... and headed down to our neighborhood parade en masse ...
... before finally heading out to fill our bags!

Nothing rhymes with orange

What a hectic month! It started out with tag-a-long'n (Me) and Cougar'n (the Finns) through the streets of our city for the latest installment of "No Cars, Just Bikes!" For the first time ever Mother Nature didn't really cooperate so we had to share the ride with a few drops and puddles (but puddles are still better road companions than cars!)

When we weren't biking, we were pumpkin picking ... first for little ones at the market on the Square ...
... and then for big ones at a farm outside of town. We had a fun hayride, a pumpkin hunt, and yummy pumpkin desserts at the farm - we'll be heading back next year!
When we weren't biking or pumpkin picking, we were visiting Mom in the hospital after she had a bit of a surprise operation (don't worry, she's all better now).
When we weren't biking, pumpkin picking, or hospitaling, we were strapping on our babies, hoppin' on the #7 and headin' downtown for our favorite museum.
When we weren't biking, pumpkin picking, hospitaling, or playing at the museum, we were raking and playing in the backyard!
And on Tuesday nights, while we were doing none of the above, we were learning how to swim!

Princess Fun

We headed up to the Woods for the rainy-one-minute sunny-the-next LD weekend ... and I was anxious to prove that my recent angling success was no fluke. GDO brought along the worms and I brought along the Finns (his first boat ride) as a witness and so he could pick up a few pointers from the Princess Pole Pfishergirl (that's Me!). Click on the pic below to check out our fun on the lake!
Final weekend fish tally: 10 for Me!

Just as exciting ... we converted my Woods Princess Bike into a "Scoot Bike" - removing the training wheels, petals, and front crank - so I can learn how to balance on 2 wheels. If my first 2 days of riding are any indication, the Firefly's training wheels aren't long for this world!

Walking math

Crashes + stumbles + tumbles = Finn's face
