Letters and Tea: A Full Fall Week.

We have had a pretty full week this week. This week we are taking off of school like the English schools do and having some down time (sort of). :) This weekend started off with Corina going with her girl scout troop pumpkin picking. It was a place called Hill Farm and it was by where we used to live in Peterborough. It was beautiful there. We drove down this long road to get to the farm and parked and went out to where the pumpkin patch was and there was a beautiful view there.

Sunday Corina got invited to go swimming with some friends so it we had to little kids. I told Aurora she got to be the big sister that day. She thought that was pretty cool. Mark decided to rake some leaves and of course the girls wanted to help. They jumped in the leaves and raked and ran and threw leaves in the air. They had a good time. The first picture is Mark and Aurora doing a leaf transfer from rake to rake. Later on Mark said that he could have done his job quicker with out the kids but then realized that they helped him till the very end and thought that was a pretty good quality.

I realized that I hadn't taken any pictures of Wesley recently so I got out the camera and took some candid shots of him with the girls.

The other day Aurora asked if she could get out the umbrellas. She and Gwyneth have these really cute umbrellas with a see through part so you can se through the umbrella while you are walking in the rain. They thought it was really cool to sit on the couch and watch tv through the viewing part. After a while I covered the with a blanket with the umbrellas and it was like a tent. They played like that for about 2 hours.

Here is Gwyneth's and Aurora's turn to go pumpkin picking. They went with their playground. Here is Gwyneth in a cool swing they had in the park area there.
