The kids and I have taken advantage of the cooler mornings to break out projects and activities we've neglected in the milder Autumnal weather. Paints, Beads, Boggle, and Monopoly were this week's fun. Gah! Look at that easel. It's taken more than one beating over the years - five kids, three moves, and whole lot of use. It's not terribly attractive anymore, but man, have we gotten (more than) our money's worth out of it! I love that thing!
Zorak and the Volvo took on a charging deer the other morning. He always keeps an eye out for deer, just as a matter of habit, but this one came barreling out of the woods where they're the closest to the road, and there was no way to avoid him. This was a solid hit at 50mph! Thankfully, Zorak is fine. He was able to drive the car home, and I am now a die-hard Volvo fangirl. Also, we're in the market for another commuter car. :-)
And that's been about it. Busy. Good. Much to be thankful for, and in many different forms. (Jacob's reading Pinocchio right now. He's loving it, and hopes someone will make a movie that actually matches the book.)

I'm so glad Zorak is ok! Hitting a deer is nothing to sneeze at.
We're also settling into colder weather activities here. Thomas and Josiah have discovered a LOVE of coloring, and Josiah thinks painting is next to heaven, and Thomas wants to learn to read. Yay!
I'm impressed with how the Volvo held up! Also, glad that Zorak was okay.
You're making me want to read Pinocchio. I've never read it before, but always loved the story.
Glad Zorak is ok! Ouch on the volvo though.
