Well, apparently the only thing as exciting as Christmas in our house, is the arrival of a cement truck....
 | Both the kids stared at the truck for an hour as they poured the driveway pads in the front and back of the garage. Andrew might have stayed there all day if we didn't have to go to school. A great babysitting tool, although a bit expensive!
In other news this week, we had our first snowfall. Although I didn't capture it on camera. Perhaps I was in a bit of denial that we could/would ever have a snowflake this early in the year. In truth, we probably had about 25 flakes fall from the sky here, but it was still a bit disconcerting as I am definitely in Halloween, not Christmas mode.
Speaking of Halloween, the kids had a couple opportunities to wear there costumes this year. The first was at Julia's school on Friday night, and the second was this evening for trick-or-treating. As you can see, Julia was Rapunzel (although the wig was short-lived, and rightly so) and Andrew was a robot.

Julia's school also had a silent auction for scarecrows made by the kid's classrooms. It was a great idea, and the kids loved seeing their scarecrow and other ones. Julia's class had a "Zero the Hero" scarecrow that she is pictured with below. Andrew's favorite scarecrow was the robot.

Lastly, we finally had the opportunity to go as a family to the pumpkin farm nearby. The kids had a blast seeing the animals, going through Casper's Castle, and the small straw maze. At the end, they got to pick out a pumpkin to take home. We may get around to carving them, but since they got to carve pumpkins at Grandma and Grandpa's house during a sleepover last weekend, we are not in much of a rush. They did a great job on those pumpkins, so that might be the end of carving this year!
