We've Moved!

Well, I've been given notice that I'm at my 1Gb of storage for Blogger.  Of course if I pay a monthly fee they will increase my storage but I'm looking to keep things free.    I've set up a new Wordpress account.  The address is:   http://jisforjasper.wordpress.com/

Happy Halloween!

Fantastic night with a potluck dinner at the neighbors house and then we all went around the neighborhood in a big group.  The boys got LOTS of candy all switched out by the mysterious Halloween witch.  They will wake up to a new toolbox (for Will) and a Brio Travel Train (for Jasper).  We also have a dentist appt tomorrow morning which is amazing timing.  Honestly, I didn't even plan it that way!

Skatebowl

The mom of one of Will's friends (and my friend too) had a Roller Skating 40th Birthday party at the Skatebowl.  It was super fun, even though the photos look so calm.  I loved this rink because it wasn't full of too much fancy skating action, a lot of people were just your average relatively unsteady skater.  Will attended a lesson before the party which helped immensely.  He went from hardly able to move to doing a few simple tricks! 

Halloween Decorating

This is phase one of Will's decorating.  I'll try to take a picture of the final phase tomorrow.  Because of that sign, Jasper said to people when he went out tonight, "Trick or Treat Smell My Feet!" 

Will has been looking forward to Halloween since September.  We'll be sorry to see it go! 

Fall Hike

 This was quite an adventure for a bunch of two year olds!

Jasper LOVES to find tiny mushrooms. 

Fog For Sale

 
 
This month has been a whirlwind of activities.  On October 1st I allowed Will to finally get out the Halloween decorations and within a few hours he had fully decorated the house and was filling up his red wagon with corked bottles of fog (from the Halloween fogging machine) which he and his friend Owen sold door to door to all the neighbors for 25 cents a bottle (free refills, of course).  We've had apple and pear picking, pumpkin farm visits, corn mazes, cider pressing, Halloween parties, and a lot of wonderful surprises.  One morning we woke up to find a huge 100 pound pumpkin sitting outside our door!  Another afternoon we discovered a bag of Halloween crafts and goodies brought over by friends. 

On Again!

The computer has been dead for most of this month but THANKS to my grandparents, we are back online again with Windows 8 after wiping the entire computer clean and reinstalling software.  I hope it holds as it has been torture without the computer!

In the meantime I'm back into knitting again as the weather grows more cool.  I have MANY projects to share but here is the latest hat for Jasper.  It is actually about an inch too short so I'm either going to frog it and add the missing inch or give it away and start another.  It is a very fun hat to knit though because you knit the cabled band and then graft it onto the rest of the hat.
