She just keeps capturing our hearts with her sweet smiles and peaceful personality.

In order to cut down on some of the sugary treats accumulated during trick or treating, I had the boys select their favorite candy, and then we did some “science experiments” with the rest.

We put the candy in plain water, colored water, vinegar, and vinegar with baking soda (thinking the bubbling action might help dissolve quicker). We were surprised to see that the water dissolved the candy first – and that the outer shell of Skittles dissolved first.

Then we put the rest of the candy on wax paper on a cookie sheet in a 450* oven. The Skittles were the last to melt – you can still see the shells if you look closely. Even the Smarties melted before the Skittles. It was a fun project, and it made a fun window display, at least for a day. :)

For Halloween this year, Liam was a “hunter” and Paul was a pirate.

Someone asked Liam how he grew his beard so fast. He said “Well, I just didn’t shave.”

“Paul, are you a pirate?” “No, I’m just dressed like one.” :)

We visited a pumpkin farm while touring local farms, historic stone houses, and wineries.

Brontë is 6 weeks old and just now weighs as much as Liam did when he was born.

She’s finally growing into some of her cute stuff!

Paul broke his elbow about 3 weeks ago. He fell out of his bed when he got up to “see if it was day.” It was late at night, so we took him to the Emergency Room. Liam was with us, and he was a great help, telling Paul jokes and keep him distracted during a scary time. Turns out, Paul has two small fractures in his elbow.

Meanwhile, we’ve been keeping busy, still recovering from the pipes all bursting.

We’re painting the living room!

David decided to spackle the grooves in the paneling, which turned into more work than expected.

Here’s what our dining table looks like – the boys are actually eating lunch behind the books. :)
