Flu shots, Zoo, and Raspberries

 Our family went and got our flu shots. Only the two little ones cried, which was impressive and unprecedented. My favorite quote was by our three year old, “That lady stabbed me!!!”

We then took the kids to the Zoo. They loved it. It was a fun family day. We also prepped a spot for raspberries in our yard and were able to plant quite a few plants in.

Autumn

 Autumn is my favorite time of year. I love the colors, smells, sound of crickets... I love homeschooling in the fall. All the other kids are in school, and I have the happy comparison that my kids are getting to gather leaves and milkweed fluffy seed pods outside whilst smelling the smells I love. We harvested the garden; Amy received an encyclopedia set from my parents and was reading up on Kitty Hawk while she waited for cornbread muffins at breakfast. I love not being rushed out the door if my kids sleep in with it being darker earlier.
