October highlights...

After a rainy Soccer Saturday morning, we spent the afternoon watching movies and making caramel apples. 
 
Austin asked if I would help him make his own cake.  He loves this chocolate cake recipe.  It has lots of add-ins.  I have to admit its my favorite cake too.  He pretty much did everything himself.

 
This child wanted to make his own backyard pool.  It was around 45 degrees out, mind you.  After he got in he said "um...mom...how do you turn the hose to hot?"

 
Austin saved up his Christmas and birthday money.  He had been wanting a brand new ipod.  We bought him a used one off craigs list last Christmas but it only lasted 5 months or so.  He got this one on a pretty good Columbus Day sale.  Its a 5th generation.  Pretty neat.  Much nicer than anything his parents have!  We are proud of him for saving his money for something and having the persistence to wait until he had enough to get what he really wanted!

 
Today was a super nice weather day.  Ezra did not have school so we had lunch outside.  Stayed home all day.  It was so relaxing and therapeutic.  Yesterday was just a plain old bad day.  You will have to check out my facebook page if you want details.  I sat in the sun for a good 20 minutes not moving.  Felt so good to bask...

 
My backyard rose bushes usually bloom well in the fall and this fall they did not disappoint...
