Here's some little snaps of some simple and easy fun things we've been doing along the way...
Those cheapie glowsticks you can find at the dollar store or Walmart are always a fun addition to cookouts, trick or treats, whenever...!

Getting our flowerbeds ready for the ensuing fall/winter...Charlie found a little tunnel of foliage that I trimmed up for him to run through.

On Election Night, we decided Sam could squeeze in some math minutes (required for school) by tallying up electoral votes as they occurred - this was so fun and exciting...Here he is at the beginning of the media coverage...

And - I didn't get pictures - but boy, I sure should have! We made chocolate covered bananas for snack yesterday. You can find the chocolate - already in chip form, ready to melt in a microwaveable bowl - in the produce area of Wallyworld (and most other grocery stores). Just pop it in the microwave and melt for a couple of minutes, and let the kids dip (pre-chilled in the freezer until firm) banana chunks into some yummy chocolate - who wouldn't like that?!?!
