We were in GreenBay for pumpkin fun. We tried out a different pumpkin patch and it has some fun different things.
Love the giant pumpkins, for only $350 it could be yours!
Jamison made his "witches brew" with snakes, bats and brains. I passed on the opportunity to taste it.
We played pumpkin bowling. It was a little rainy, so unfortunatley we did not play a whole set. Peter got some air on his!
This was the bowling ball graveyard. only 1 or 2 smashed pumkins.
We were close to having a nice family photo....and then there is Peter's expression.
They even had a corn maze. Not as big as the other one...but we did not have a map and we got turned around a couple times! Maybe we should have had a map.
At Gma's house we spent time painting the mini pumpkins and gourds. I have to say, we have some spooky ones!
Earlier in the week I went with Peter's class to help rake leaves at a retired teacher/neighbor's house. Found out that it was Pat's 3rd grade teacher. She remebers him as a good listener. When I told Pat that he asked..."Did she know I was deaf?" Oh, you have to love the Mount Horeb moments.
These kindergarteners and 1st graders are sure fast rakers. I think I need to rent them to help with my house. But then again, with the wind we have been having we might not have to rake at all! Here's to hoping!
Jamison has picked tacos for dinner and for dessert...mint chocolate chip ice cream in colored cones. The green cones were a little disturbing, but tasted fine. We willl have to remember these for St. Patrick's Day. 
For his special day present he got Star Wars Droid Ship and tickets to the movie Legend of the Guardians, to be seen on their day off of school next week. We like Jamison Day.....Peter wishes for Peter Day.
Pat thought is was ok for Jamison to ride around outside in his underware. Good Grief! I am a little worried what he will do in college.
As a "thankyou" for watching Bosco, our friends brought back some ToyStory legos. We spent the night racing who could put it together faster....not to brag, Jamison and mom won, but it was not a race...but we still won. 
Halloween is coming fast, and we are getting our costumes ready. We scored some boot and belts from the local Savers to make the ObiWan and Luke Skywalker costumes complete. Now I have to finish sewing a few other parts. In the mean time, ObiWan and Luke are training to be Jedi. Jamison really likes the boots and was outside riding his bike with them. He thought is was crazy fun until he crashed. .
Bosco made himself at home and slept in Peter's room, he was so happy! It will be sad when he has to go home. 
The weather has been really warm and we even had to break out some shorts. This Jamison's best Urkle impression. 
Saturday we went to the Treinen Farm, a place where they boast having the largest corn maze in Wisconsin. The farm is pretty cool. This years pattern is filled with tesselations (Escher's mathematical concept of infinitley repeating designs that interlock, filling a page), Penrose Tilings (infinitley non-repeating patterns) and Fibonacci numbers (a series of numbers where the next number is the sum of the prior two). 
Now I am not that smart, i had to look up the definitions. Pat, on the other hand, was pretty excited, telling the boys all about the mathematical concepts. 
We did really well, and only got lost once. We were able to find each map and make our way all the way through! My picture isnt as cool as the overhead photo above. it was a lot of corn!
The Farm also had bunnies, goats, chicken, lions and tigers oh my! Jamison took a liking to the bunnies. He said he would like a rabbit. I reminded him that that is not possible, Wini is a beagle, beagles are bread to hunt rabbits.
The slides were bumpy and there were tractor tires all over to climb on. 
They had a pretty awesome set up. 
Jamison is making corn angels. We will have to hit this place up next year, it was a lot of fun! even though it felt like summer. 
The rest of the weekend was spent cleaning out the garage, car, back yard and barn attic preparing for winter. It is still hard to think that winter is right around the corner. At 80 it is hard to imagine. Instead of cleaning, Peter set up an obstacle course for is scooter. 
Pat gave Jamison a piece of tubing, he spent a long time jump roping and swinging it. Like an earlier post, who needs fancy toys when you have tubing!
