The weeks are flying by, with Autumn and Evan already through 9 weeks of Kindergarten. And I can't believe it took this long, but we finally had our first garage sale ever. Why didn't we do it before? We sold just about everything we wanted to, made some more room in the house, and of course a bit of $$$. The kids even ran a successful Cider-N-Donuts stand. :)
The pumpkins are out, and Autumn and Evan are eagerly awaiting trick or treat this Thursday... not sure why around here they never seem to hold it on ACTUAL Halloween. Perhaps Saturday poses too much of an adult-party-drunk-driving risk or something.Click here to see an album of 58 photos from September-October.
With me not working this weekend, we have a fun one lined up. Evan and I are going to the Marshall-UAB football game in a couple hours, Autumn and Mom are going to "Global Village" in Charleston, which is an event featuring arts and crafts, as well as "free trade" shopping. Then we'll all be going to a Hibachi dinner with some friends of ours who live in the neighborhood. Tomorrow Marisa presents "Operation Christmas Child" to the congregation, so the church can participate this year. Then our church has its annual Fall Festival in the late afternoon, and it will be a beautiful day.
Here's a little something fun I have been trying out: 3D photos. Basically I snap a photo, take a couple small steps to the side, and take the same photo. This mimics having the vantage point of two "eyes". You put the photos right next to each other, then cross your eyes slightly to have the images meet in the middle. Then you see everything in 3D! Sort of like those crazy posters back in the 90s, where a 3D picture suddenly jumps out at you when you get it just right. Anyhoo, go ahead and give it a try on the three below (mushroom log on a hike, Kids and Mom on Wildcat Ridge hike in Kanawha State Forest, and Evan on a hike).
Have fun! -Mark (+ Marisa, Autumn, and Evan)
