The rest of October

After Fall Break, we got back into our regular routine for a short while before the craziness of birthdays, and holidays started up at the end of the month.

 Ryan and Annie finished their Reading Fair projects. Ryan did his on Mighty Truck and Annie did hers on The Princess in Black. Both of them did a great job. I'm sad I couldn't find a picture of Annie's project because she made an awesome castle.

We went to the kids' school to help out at their day of service. We picked weeds and had fun helping clean up around the school.

 We got a new fridge in October. It's nice having a working ice maker again.

 The kids were happy to get out the Halloween decorations. We have these blocks that say "Happy Harvest," except that the kids liked to play around with them a lot.

 Jacob's favorite version of the blocks was "HAV THERAPY" with a couple blocks left over.

Jacob and Ryan went on a bike ride and came home with some pretty awesome "helmet hair."

 Jacob reading to the kids.

This book is pretty cute on its own, but Jacob is the preferred story teller/book reader because he changes the stories to make them more exciting/crazy.
