img_9588It’s definitely Fall around here – OSU football and apples are in full swing. I’ve been enjoying taking Tuesday’s off and taking Griffin to school.  I love hearing about his day and the stories that he has to share. This day we took Tony the Tiger back from his weekend of fun with us. Part of having the class mascot is journaling what adventures and fun you had with him. Kevin put together a neat collage with all of our weekend activities! img_9540 After school Finn and I headed downtown to enjoy a treat at the North Market. I had some tasty veggie dishes from The Little Eater, and as you can see Finn attacked a large pretzel!img_9541 I love it when Finn does art at school or with Debbie. He is so excited to share what he made and tell about it.  Here he drew the Earth!img_9542 All things apples! This week Debbie had a fun activity making applesauce with the apples we picked last weekend with Mom and Dad.  And at the end, after all the hard work, Finn sampled his work – it was delish!img_9569 img_9573 img_9575 img_9576 I also love arriving home to or seeing pictures throughout the day of Finn playing dress-up and pretend. He’s got a very creative imagination and tells the best stories with his outfits. Even Lily got to wear some props. img_9553 img_9568 Kevin and I met up with the Vertuccis this week for date night at the new Pins Mechanical in downtown Cbus. It is a new concept for adult entertainment that includes numerous pinball machines, ping pong tables, and duck-pin bowling! That was our first go at playing duck-pin and it was so fun! We had a great time (and yours truly happened to win!). img_9557 img_9559 img_9538 Friday was the Fun Fest at Griffin’s preschool.  There are many games, one held in each of the preschool classrooms, hot dogs, ice cream, and prizes! It was a fun evening and you can see here, in Finn’s Tiger class – he pinned the spider in the center of the web! Yay Finn!img_9580 img_9582 img_9587-2On Saturday the doorbell rang and Lily went nuts of course. Kevin retrieved a package sent to Finn from Grandma and Grandpa Beilstein. Turns out when they were cleaning the basement they came upon a Tyger (note the spelling) from Dad’s school board days – so they were kind enough to send it to our Tiger! Finn has loved sleeping with it 🙂img_9589 img_9590

And did I say it is all things apples this time of year? We ventured out on Sunday for a family activity with our small group from church to pick apples. This time we went to Orchard and Company in Marysville, our first time there.  They have a ton of kids activities too, which Finn really enjoyed.  He even got to zip line. He loved it, of course, and probably went 8 times in a row.
