The persistent warm weather has really made things interesting this fall! We have just harvested our carrots, but it is still too warm to store them outside, so we had to put them in the refrigerator. It is always so much fun to see what has been growing under the ground all summer:) The pigs are settling in nicely and starting to turn over the ground. Just because we thought life wasn't full enough, we decided to get another round of meat birds before winter... I think that was a good idea...
The kids and I took a foliage walk up Titcomb, still without coats at the end of October. Last weekend James and I ran in the Fit Girls 5K and he did an amazing job! It was his fastest race to date and he finished near the top of the entrants. Noah and I are training for a half marathon in December and had just completed a long run the day before, so he opted out of this race. Our early morning runs have been beautiful! Nannie came this past weekend while Gabe was on a hunting trip and we made sure to tackle the corn maze and get some pretty impressive pumpkins.
Ben has now lost his second top tooth and is wondering if he will still be waiting on both front teeth for Christmas. He is still rocking the sweatband and since this seems to have some staying power, I did buy him two real sweatbands so there is an alternate when one needs to be washed. The sweatband craze occasionally spills over to the other kids, but no one is as committed at Ben;) James and Audrey got up early last weekend and were playing quietly until they came in a showed me their new ammo belts... for pretending to be in the war... for the record, this was the answer to my question to James, "What are you planning to do with all of those broken tees you keep collecting?"...
