| October 31, 2008... Halloween 2008 |
| What a crazy day - 1st Jake had a Halloween party at pre-school, they turned a donut into a spider with white chocolate chips and pretzel sticks. Then we were off to trick-or-treating, Jake had a blast going from house to house, but he did not like the motion sensor skeletons/witches that came to life when you walk by them - I little to scary. We dressed Joe up as a Tiger - he looked great - Joseph enjoyed his 1st Halloween. Joe liking watching the kids run around, then he ended up falling asleep for a while. |

| October 26, 2008... Pumpkin Carving 2008 |
| We had our family pumpkin carving this weekend - Jake did a good job helping out with picking out his pumpkin and helping carve it out - I ended up doing most of the gutting the pumpkins though. I think I liked Megan's pumpkin the best (aka Squidword - 3rd one from the right on the top row) or Jackson's Spider (far right on the top row). Check out all the photos… |

| October 20, 2008... Fall Farm Fair |
| There is an Educational Farm at Joppa Hill in Bedford and they had a fall farm fair that went to the other day. I was a little chilly, but we had a good time - we checked out the animals: pigs, chickens, turkey, rabbits, ponies, etc… We went on the hay ride thru the fields, Jenn & Jacob made a few beeswax candles too. |

| October 17, 2008... Mini Motel |
| Never again find yourself stranded in a transportation terminal with no place to sleep… The Mini Motel is easy to carry along as well - the dimensions are 17" x 12" x 3", small enough to slip right into your laptop bag. For $49.95. it is cheaper than a hotel room… Each Mini Motel comes with an air mattress, pillow, alarm clock, reading light, etc... Well - this one is interesting - and very humorous, but you saw it here 1st… click on the link and watch an MSNBC news video on the product. |

| October 14, 2008... Sullivan Farm |
| Sullivan Farm & the Salvation Army hosted an Applefest. Jake got to play some games, got to go on a pony ride, and check out yet another fire engine. This pony ride we let him ride on his own - no problems. The event was nice, but it was very difficult to get close and find a parking spot. |

| October 11, 2008... Milford Pumpkin Festival 2008 |
| We made it over to the Milford Pumpkin Festival on Saturday - the weather was nice and Jake was getting over a small bout with the croop. We played some games, visited the Firehouse, climbed over some pumpkins, and I even joined in the Chili Roundup. The chili roundup - you pay $5 to help judge approx 50 different chili entries, I definitely needed the TUMS when I got home!! |

| October 6, 2008... October Weekend in Lincoln |
| After the Bounce U party, we took the boys up to Lincoln for the weekend - at Na & Pa's condo. We took a ride on a train (the Hobo Railroad) - a leaf-peeping tour around the area. Jake loved being on the train!! They also had a small playground there - we stayed there for at least an extra hour. Na & Pa came up on Sunday and we took a quick drive over to Beaver Pond for a small hike and to look at the foliage. I have posted a few photos… |

| October 3, 2008... Bounce U |
| Jacob was invited to a kids party at Bounce U in Bedford, NH. Bounce U is one of the HOT places for kids parties these days - they have large inflatable slides, bouncy houses, obstacle courses, etc… that kids can jump on. We had a great time and will probably go back there many times - they have "Open Bounce" sessions and/or you can schedule preschool playdates. |

| October 2, 2008... Discovery Museum |
| We took a trip down to Acton, MA to the Discovery Museum - we went to the Science Museum building. It reminded me of the SEE Science Center. We had a great time - Jake especially liked a metal wall with a bunch of tubes, funnels, and ramps that he could position in order to roll a ball/marble down the track he just built. There was a small "tornado" exhibit that he could go into and touch/impact the funnel cloud, there were water exhibits and music exhibits… I posted a few photos |
