I was sitting down stairs at the computer, Roger was sitting on the couch reading about our camera, and the kids were playing outside. Alissa came running downstairs and said, " Kason's Mom said that if you want to know a place where you can get free pumpkins, come outside and she'll tell you." I was like, "Really! You can get free pumpkins!" and I followed Alissa outside to find out all about it. My wonderful neighbor, Shauna, said that she knew somebody who had told her that she could come and get some, they just had to pick them themselves. She tried to explain where it was. I wasn't sure where she was talking about. So, she suggested that she would take us there. She said that we could go right now if we wanted. So I hurried home to get Roger. While were getting ready, our next door neighbor, Kristy was outside. She decided to come also. We hoped in our car and went to get our pumpkins. I was soooo... excited for free pumpkins! Pinterest has a ton of ideas for decorating pumpkins. Now we have enough pumpkins to try them.

Parker picked the biggest pumpkin he could find. I had to carry it for him. That means I got to be in the picture with Parker and his pumpkin.
Playing in a ditch with their friend, Kason.
I love this family picture! It is fun.
We went to the Duel of the Schools walk-a-thon. When we left the pumpkin patch, we realized that it was time for the walk-a-thon, so we hurried over to the track. Alissa was supposed to get there early, since she is in the student council. She couldn't find the other student council members, so she felt really bad. We sat on the bleachers while they made some announcements, then they introduced the student council members. They all ran out on the track and were throwing water bottles out into the crowd. Alissa ran down to the track so she could help. She was glad that she didn't miss out. She tried to throw a water bottle to Parker and Brinley. They kept missing it and the people behind them would get it. They finally managed to catch one. It was funny to watch.
At the start of the race, they had the kids line up. They told them not to go until the lady at the microphone said "go." The lady kept talking and talking. The kids were getting really antsy. The line slowly started moving forward with impatient kids. She told them to stop going until she said so. She talked some more, then she said, "Ready, set, oh.... I forgot to say one more thing." Half of the kids had started running, because "oh" sounds like "go". It was pretty funny. the kids all came back and lined up again. She finally said, "Go!" and the race started. It was pretty crazy to have the kids line up and make them wait for such a long time.
Parker started out the walk-a-thon running. I was impressed at what a fast runner he is. Alissa started out walking. Every time I saw her on her first lap, I thought she looked kind of bored.
When I was able to find her in the crowd, everything had changed. She had found her friend, Erin. She was much happier and full of energy after finding Erin. She was walking and dancing to the music. Parker ended up finding them also. It's cute that they all were walking holding hands.
I really like this picture of Alissa. I love her eyes! They are the prettiest blue.
Brinley said that she didn't want to walk at first, so she was sitting next to me. Then she saw a boy that she likes. She yelled his name and went running after him. She walked around for two laps with him. I kept yelling to Roger to take her picture, but for some reason, he could never find her. It was crazy, because she would see him and she be right by him yelling, "Daddy! Daddy!" and he still didn't see her. The next time round, I ran down to Roger and pointed her out, but by the time he saw her, she was starting to walk off of the track and into the stands. Roger asked her to go back on the track so he could take her picture, then she came and sat with me for a while.
Alissa was nice and helped to stack all of our pumpkins in front of the house.
