Fall has really fallen here, and brought with it lots of chaos and fun. The kids couldn't wait for the leaves to fall from the tree, so climbed the tree and shook the branches to hurry them up. It rained leaves as a result. After raking them into a pile, they burried themselves and jumped all over the piles. We experienced the last soccer game and each of the girls' teams actually looked like a team by the last games. The following week was the piano recitals for Lizzy and Sarah - they did a great job and looked beautiful (no bias on my part, of course). The crowning event of 'Fall Frenzie' was Thanksgiving. We had 29 here for dinner. Unfortunatey, it rained so the kids had lots of energy to contain in the house. After dinner, each family made their gingerbread houses. It started out seriously. Then, there was an earthquake, 9 on the ricter scale, caused when Isaac pounded on the roof of their house. They did their best to repair the damage, but it needed a government bail-out and the government was closed for the holiday. Usually the completed gingerbread houses go to the homes to the various families, but they started eating them since the bail-out wasn't forth-coming. It must have been the sugar-high, but it looked like FEMA really bungled the job when candies were stuck all over faces with icing, etc. Click on any of the pictures below to see a larger version.
