2006 Week 46
My birthday was last week. Happy birthday to me. I’ve been recovering from a bad ankle sprain the last few weeks. Playing ultimate is one of my favorite things, so it’s pretty frustrating when I can’t.
We also celebrated Mark’s 1st birtday a few weeks ago. Mark and my other boys definitely rank very high on my list of favorites.
Halloween was fun for the boys, but I think the most fun was harvesting the pumpkins from our garden, then carving them together. The fall weather has been awesome, and we’ve enjoyed lots of outdoor activities, including some corn mazes.
At the corn maze, we saw a large trebuchet for launching pumpkins. We were all impressed by that. It was the inspiration for Trent’s simple machine project — we chose to launch jumbo marshmallows, and he had a lot of fun demoing it at school.

I’m impressed by the pumpkins! And I think our kids are in big trouble when they get to school and have to make any kind of machine…unless decorating it counts high!

Super cute boys - all 4 of them! Impressive pumpkins. Great jack-o-lantern picture. Nice straight teeth on Caleb. Good job catching Trent’s expression on the launch. I’d say good job on capturing Mark’s smiles, but he smiles all the time so that’s not so hard.
