Last half of September

I got some cute pics at Christian's preschool on September 16th. This is a snowman that he made out of playdough,

and this day Miss Kelly got out the shaving cream and food coloring!

On the 17th Buddy finally beat Faith and dad at Wii bowling. Way to go!

And then we headed to Lagoon.

Christian's first ride on the Wild Mouse! He says he wasn't scared, but doesn't really want to ride it again :)

We loved passing around Brandt on the 18th at mom & dad's. Here's Grandma Quinn with him:

and Faith:

and Eric:

On the 22nd I volunteered in Faith's class, so Buddy and I came early to meet Faith for lunch and recess.

That evening we got to taste test 10 varieties of raspberries at the Kaysville Farmer's Market!! They gave us 10 pennies and you could "vote" for your favorites by putting how ever many pennies you wanted in that variety's piggy bank. It was fun and delicious! I wish I could remember my favorite, but we also loved the golden ones.

Here's Buddy at preschool again on the 23rd. He loves to paint during free time.

On the 24th the kids made fire trucks (again, but these had sirens!) at Lowe's.

You might be getting tired of hearing about all of our Lagoon trips, but we were sure loving them! Here we are on the 25th.

The kids love "Spook-A-Boo" where you get to trick-or-treat to different themed rooms. Here's the pirate room.

Because the line wasn't too long , we decided to go through "Nightwalk" the five spider rated (with five being scariest) spook alley there. It was really hot in line, so Tony took Faith (who wasn't as interested) on a ride instead, but when they came back Buddy and I were still waiting, so she line jumped and went through with us. I didn't think it was all that scary, but I certainly jumped several times! The kids sure held on to me tightly, but said they weren't very scared either.

Our clothes dryer finally gave up the ghost. It had previously broken several times and Tony had fixed it, but finally an expensive part went out and it was kaput. I did several loads of washing each Sunday and brought them to both parents' houses to dry, and also Buddy and I had been schlepping a few loads to the laundromat by our library on storytime day. On the 27th we were walking back to get our laundry and car (we would park at Faye's and just walk across Main Street to the library) when we passed the "Passion for Popcorn" shop. We'd never been in before, so we stopped by. It's mainly just an industrial kitchen, but they have two shelves of product up front. We got two flavors to try: Pumpkin Spice and Halloween Mix (which contained orange, lime, grape and I think the black was vanilla in a darling printed bag). Yummy!

A few weeks after this, Tammy took pity on us and BOUGHT US A DRYER!!! She surprised me a few days in advance, letting me know to be home for the delivery from R.C. Willey and that they were hauling our old one away, as well. She is the sweetest!!!!!!! You can only imagine the relief of finally being able to dry clothes at home again!

And one more favorite preschool activity from the 30th.
