Autumn Whirlwind

Apologies to those who have been checking out our blog to find nothing new for the last several weeks. An early morning surge of energy (pre-waking hours for the rest of the house) combined with the revelation that Blogger now accepts groups of photos at a time is responsible for this poorly edited and overly thorough presentation.

We begin with Kaj and Tom preparing goodies for our eldest's 5th (!) "friend" birthday party 

- with an Angry Birds theme, no less. 

Aunt Annie outdid herself with this spread of app game goodness that was the hit of the neighborhood. The bar has been raised. 

Prepare for more delegated tasks, Anne Lisa Larsen. 

What kind of Angry Birds birthday would it be without some sort of target practice? 

Bring on the Kick Croquet!

I believe the stock of food coloring at our local grocery store was depleted that weekend...

       Fun with friends from Kinderfarm and the neighborhood

A bag of jumbo marshmallows and an all call on Raven Ct. = a simple pleasure with cute kiddos

A trip across the Illinois border to Niabi Zoo - what a find! 

A Hawley Angry Birds birthday a week or two late - no complaints from Kaj. 

Another fantastic cake! 

Bloomsbury Farm, you are a new favorite. 

JUMP!

LASSO! 

What a pro! 

Looking for precious stones with Aunt Annie...

...hiding in a giant tractor tire...

...jumping pillow...

....awesome slide...

...duck races...

...and a barrel ride. What a hoot!

Until next time!
