A Great Day for Homeschooling
Our local county is giving away historic, iron bridges from the 1900’s and replacing them with new bridges. We were so excited to find out that one of the historic bridges was going to be moved to the park right behind our house. One day last week, the bridge was delivered to the site:
The next morning, we heard big trucks and headed outside to see what was happening.
Samantha and Allen brought their schoolwork outside so that we could observe.
When the workers began moving the bridge, they climbed up in the walnut tree to watch.
Things were a bit slow-moving, so we took lots of breaks.
Almost there!
All done!
This bridge will eventually be part of a hiking/biking trail that our city has planned.

A Flower for Mama
The Pumpkin Patch
Ray and I took Samantha, Allen and Jamie to the Flower Mound Pumpkin Patch on Saturday, and we all had a great time!
Samantha and Allen had a blast exploring the hay maze and running through the inflatable obstacle course.
They even got to hang out with some of their favorite movie stars!
Jamie was in a grouchy mood because he fell asleep on the way and wasn’t ready to wake up when we got there. I couldn’t get him to smile at all . . . not even on the hayride.
Daddy got him to smile, though! He put him up on a haystack and let him JUMP!
Jamie’s gorgeous longies were knit by Conny of Just Sheepy. The wool is Selah‘s Monster colorway on Honey Organic Merino dyed by Julie. Mmmm . . . they’re so soft and will be so warm for winter over our cloth fitted diapers.
Football Season is in Full Swing & the Bulldogs have their First Win!
Allen’s playing tackle football again this year and loving every minute of it. He’s on the 9/10 Bulldogs team, a newly formed team with some great coaches that we know well from past seasons, including his dad!

On the Field
Yesterday was the boys’ fourth game, and their first win. They played so hard and were so excited when the game was over.
(That’s Allen still in his helmet in the bottom right corner.)
And a few fun postgame pictures:
