October Fun

What! You say it is not October? That was two months ago? I guess I don't really care. I still want to publish this on my blog in December so I am. Here are some of the fun things we did in October.

We enjoyed unusually warm weather at this corn maze. The corn maze was not the best and you can see how scraggly the corn is. We won't be going back next year. It was still fun to run around outside together.

We have a Volleyball pit behind our house at the park close by. The kids love to play in the sand and will often call me out to come and look at something they have built. Ben and Liz wanted me to take a picture this day.

Carving pumpkins is always a Finch Family favorite in October. Here I am helping Jake. Really he did a lot of it himself though. It looks like he's having fun!

Ben's final product. He really worked hard and independently on this. I was so proud of him! I think it turned out great. I love the pumpkin carving kits because the kids can use them so easily.

Anna and her pumpkin.

Adam does one pretty much the same every year. BYU rules!

One day Lizzy had a friend over after school so we made some bones to eat. (pretzels with marshmallows on the end dipped in melted white chocolate, yum!)

Ok, I know you are now expecting to see pictures of all the kids in their Halloween costumes. Sad to say that some how escaped me this year. We did have a fun carnival at the church put on by the youth. Greg and his group of boys (really just one boy) put together this amazing "Angry Birds" life size game. It was a huge hit and had a line that never let up the whole afternoon. I didn't get a picture of that either. Trust me though it was awesome. October is a great month. It is always fun and exciting for the kids which makes it fun and exciting for Greg and I too.
