Carrots.

Chris broke his collarbone and Ivy developed a fever in the night and kept us both up. Also, I stayed up much too late watching the Red Sox pull out a big win. I was predicting a morning of terrible moods, but things were rosier than that. 

We discovered what's been eating the kale. Kale-colored caterpillars. Disgusting and fascinating. 

I has pretty much forgotten about our carrots, which didn't seem to be growing. But Ivy wanted to pick one, so we went for it and picked all of them. We planted Kaleidoscope carrot seeds, which Aunt Catherine gave us, so it was fun to see what color the carrot would be each time we pulled one out of the ground. 

Small but tasty. 

Pumpkin Festival 2013

We hit up the festival by Grandma Carola. It's become tradition by now. 

That's what we were up to today while Chris was downhill mountain biking... and breaking his collarbone!! He's okay though, thank goodness. 

Apples & Kites

Windy fall day. Lots of apples on the ground from a big storm yesterday. We went on a search for the tiniest, cutest apple. 

When we got home, Creston decided we should make some kites. I am not at all the crafty type, but I know how to google and so we figured out how to make some kites. And they were actually awesome! These kites call for a lot of running, but Creston and Ivy were game. 

Garden tomato break. 

Corn Maze

Born and raised in NH, but this was my first time in a corn maze. Crazy, I know. 

As it turns out, there are a few things you don't want to hear when you're deep in the middle of a 4 acre corn maze. "I have to poop" is one of them.
