Where has October gone??

I can't believe it is November already! October simply flew by! I've been so busy that I haven't gotten to post about many of the things that I had wanted to, so I've decided to mush it all together in one big post=).



We went to the Botanical Gardens for a fall festival of their's...

I had fun taking lots of pictures at Mastodon State Park, as you already know:).

We raked leaves...lots of them!!

I know I don't seem very helpful here...just taking pictures of everybody, but I did rake too, you know!

We participated in a craft fair for home-schoolers a few weeks ago. I made the purses (simply made by sewing two woven potholders together and making a strap) and also helped with some of the other things (crayons, cookies, pins, Christmas ornaments).

And then there was carving pumpkins...

On Halloween my family and I went to Thie's Farm. It's basically a "Fall family fun" place (on a farm) with hay tunnels, a tractor ride, corn mazes, etc.

Love the sign! It was kind of muddy, actually=)

There was also a zip line, which was super-fun as well as everything else!!!

I went trick-or-treating at my friend Kathleen's house and also slept over. I had a great time there!

The Lord has definately blessed me with a wonderful (though busy!) school year thus far!

PS-Just to let you know I am having another Speech Meet tomorrow--the first one of this school year! I'm doing a duet speech with my friend Mary Frances. Pray that I do well!!

Blessings,

Hannah
