Started with a trip to the grocery store to get some last-minute foods for the potluck. Decided to attempt our first pumpkin pic of the year as we walked in :)

Off to the park. It was a beautiful breezy morning at our nicely shaded park. The kids collected leaves and glued them on paper to make animals or other designs.

The 2 year-olds have fun with glue and leaves!

Then down the street to our house for lunch, play, and a little more on autumn and leaves. Here are some of the kids picnicking in the backyard.

We had our Fine Arts "sharing" time where the kids get up and do some kind of performance, usually poetry. They sat or stood on the fireplace which made for a great stage! A recorder performance:

The audience looks on:

And the littlest performer of the day shows his artwork. So cute:

We're still recovering from our busy day but enjoying the beautiful weekend. I am just more and more thankful each day for our family, wonderful friends, great hometown, and beautiful home that we're able to share with others! I like having a kid-friendly place where I don't mind having groups like this over. We were all surprised at just how little a mess was actually left after the group went home!
Please offer a little prayer for me and baby as it looks like I might be facing a gestational diabetes diagnosis. I'll find out next week after another blood screening. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Thanks for sharing the pictures. What fun. I'm glad you have such a great community.
Glad everything went so well. Praying that your test comes back negative!
Prayers for your health, Blair! During my first pregnancy, I had a positive first test and then a negative second test, so I hope it turns out the same for you... Prayers, B
