Syracuse Pumpkin Walk

We went on Friday evening to the Annual Syracuse PUmpkin Walk. This event is organized by our great city of Syracuse. There were tons of carved pumpkins displayed so everyone could see the masterpieces. This year there were booths and food and firepits surrounded by hay bails so people could sit and get warm. It was a great family activity. I love our city, it is so family oriented. I hope it stays like this for awhile. Its a great place to live.

Enchanted Woods

Yesterday we took the kids to the Treehouse Museum where every year they do "The Enchanted Woods". They recreat stories and the kids take a tour of the museum and meet different characters from children stories and legends. This year it was The Wizard of Oz. While they went through each station they would get candy and little things to put inside their treat bag. Kaylee and Braden really enjoyed it.

Our Basement

This is the shower in the bathroom.



This is the Family Room with the French Doors we added. I love how the room looks. It has more light.

For the last year and a half we have been working on our basement. We can finally say we are in the final stages. Last week contractors came to hang the drywall and today two guys came to start the mud and tape. Hopefully by next week it will be ready to seal and paint. We are getting excited for this big project to finalize.

Pumpkin Patch and Hay Ride 2011

On Friday we took the kids to J&J Nursery and Gardens for the Annual Hay Ride and Pumpkin Patch. They offer free ride and pumpkin with the donation of canned food for the Food Bank. It was a hot day and very sunny with blue skies. I thought it was perfect to take the kids after school on friday since they get out early. I think everyone had the same idea cause there was a big line when we got there and by the time we left they had about 4 tractors and trailers taking people to and from the patch. We each got a good size pumpkin. For Braden it was a big decision on which one to pick. We loved choosing our own pumpkin.
