Great White Turkey

We celebrated Thanksgiving with the Great White Turkey again this year.

My phone didn't do as well with the photos, or it could be the 3 kiddos making the half eye- scary faces that I won't document that did it. Either way these are the only two pictures I have.

The Turkey brought a movie (Elf), a game (Beat the Parents) and some pajamas.

I am so very thankful to be the tutor for our homeschool Classical Conversations community's Abecedarian class, which is the 4/5 year old class. I normally have 8 children and last Monday I only had 3 students. My sweet nephew Paxton, was able to join us from his big brother's class. I did a fun little review game where they made Pilgrim and Indian hats.

I love Lylah's face in this picture, this is her new "Mom says smile" camera face. I believe she is trying to smile without showing her teeth for some reason, and this is what we get.

Fries Family Apple Press

We spent a Friday night pressing apples with Tim's family.

We ended up with 30 plus gallons of juice.

My freezer is stocked and ready to go.

Avarie was a trooper, all the other kids ended up in the house playing and watching TV.

She stuck it out to the very end.

Dashel is the cutest, isn't he?!?!

I have the cutest nephews!

Halloween 2013

We went to our church trunk or treat and then to Nanny/Papas for Halloween.

Avarie was a barrel horse rider, TJ was Phil from Duck Dynasty and Lylah was Mickey Mouse.

Pretty cute Fries kiddos

Thompson Farms

We had a field trip with some of our favorite people.

The Phillips and The Other Fries'

joined us in the middle of the day at a local pumpkin patch (another perk of homeschooling).

It was a beautiful day and we had a ton of fun.

Happy Fall!

Pumpkins

We carved some pumpkins this year, Lylah didn't quite "get" the idea of carving them however. I didn't get a close up of TJ or Avarie's unfortunately.
