The kids and I like to work puzzles and we decided that a Texas Tech puzzle was the perfect one for fall. <br />

One chilly evening, we went to At'l Do Farms. They have a corn maze, a hay ride to pumpkin hollow, animals... it was lots of fun!<br />

Of course, Blake and Easton have been going to the Texas Tech football games with us. We always have a blast there - win or lose!<br />

For Halloween this year, Blake wanted to be a black cat and Easton wanted to be Captain America. He didn't want the shield though, because he wanted his hands free. <br />

Friday the 28th was the Fall Festival at school. It was round one for wearing their costumes and getting candy! They played every game, some more than once, and wore themselves out on the bouncy obstacle course.<br />

Carving pumpkins went so much better this year! I usually end up carving the most, but this year the kids did most of the work! <br />

I didn't take more pictures on Halloween, but we trick-or-treated until we dropped. We walked our neighborhood for a long time, until they both asked to go home. We tried to hand out candy at our house, but no one comes to our street because we're at the back edge of the neighborhood. <br />

The second weekend of September, we took off to Fort Lauderdale for five days with my parents and Katie and her family. We were so looking forward to this trip, and we were so thankful the hurricane didn't ruin the trip. There was a little rain/cloudy weather, but it was mostly great! It had been 3 years since we'd been to a beach, and both Blake and Easton loved it!<br />

One morning, Easton went with the boy cousins and Katie and Hector fishing, while Tim and my dad golfed. He was excited to go and had a great time. He caught a Parrot Fish!<br />

We went to the Everglades one day for an air boat tour. Our guide was so fun. She called out alligators by name until they showed up! We saw iguanas, birds, and plants, and then watched The Gator Boys do an alligator show. Very cool!<br />

It was so nice to get away, play in the water and sun for a few days, and relax! (We missed Travis and Emily though!) Blake even brought a coconut home that she found washing up on the beach in the waves. <br />

The nice pilot let the kids pretend to fly the plane while we were waiting during a stop. Our flights home were delayed and extended, so we played hooky from school the next day. We were exhausted from all the fun!<br />

Blake will now jump off the side in the deep end and swim back to the wall.
