The Griffith Family Blog: Monthly Update

So I think I might be changing my blogging format. I really just do this blog for our family and friends that want updates on our lives and the kids, and throughout the years I have used a few different posting style formats. Lately it seems like I have about enough blog-able activities to fill a post about every 30 days. Aside from special occasions and holidays I'll probably just do a monthly recap of what we have been up to during the month. Since I sit down to blog once a month for the twins update I'll probably post our monthly update around that time too in a separate post. I may change the format again, but for now this seems to be a natural progression.

This past month we have been enjoying the fall weather with the windows open during the day and the fireplace on at night. We have been cooking up some fall foods including corn on the cob, squash and pumpkin everything. All the kids have been loving the pumpkin "cookies" I made, and I am enjoying the pumpkin spice coffee I bought. Ellasen went on a scavenger hunt for fall nature items and is working on a collage. We went to a local farm to pick out pumpkins, buy cider and apples, and go on a hayride. There were also barnyard animals we could pet and feed. It was fun! We also went to a health fair for Tim's work where Ellasen did a cake walk(yes, at a health fair...hmmm) and got her face painted (actually she chose to have her hand painted). Other than that we have been hanging out, playing dress up and generally goofing off! I have been working hard on Halloween costumes for the girls, and I can't wait to show them off!
