Brrr

It's kind of cold here today. Owen is having his second to last baseball game in about 5 minutes - the last one is Saturday afternoon and then there is a party afterward at a pizza place downtown.

The kids and I went to the school book fair this afternoon. They were thrilled to find a Pokemon book and a Star Wars popup book.

Owen and I have been working on a list of all the characters and all the spells in the Harry Potter books he's read so far (with descriptions). I think we are in the neighborhood of 50 characters already. Phew.

We have carved one pumpkin, not sure if we will get to the couple of others we have. Dan accompanied Douglas's class to the pumpkin patch this morning. It sounds like it was fun (but cold). That patch has a petting zoo with lots of baby animals, and apparently many of the other parents were afraid to pick up the chicks and baby ducks for the kids to pet, so Dan had to do a lot of the heavy lifting, as it were.
