We have been blessed with some great neighbors in our new house.  You never know what your neighbors or neighborhood will be like when you purchase a new home, but we have lived in some neighborhoods in Minnesota that will be hard to top if we ever move again.  Within 5 minutes of getting home from school, we usually have a group of boys outside waiting to play.  Its good for the big boys because they have lots of energy to burn after school.

We have become friends with a very sweet family next door that has 3 girls (5th, 2nd, and preschool age) plus a little boy who just turned a year old.  The girls love playing with the boys and the boys find the girls to be quite entertaining.  We have introduced them to nerf war games, capture the flag, and cops and robbers.  Finn and the youngest little girl, Kathleen, are really a good match.  They are both non stop and quite opinionated so its fun to watch them work things out!

We had a day off school so we made an extra trip to the pumpkin patch and farm to play.  The boys love doing this so its always a fun day.  Despite a lot of wind, the weather was so nice and warm for this time of year.  We picked some pumpkins, shot gourds into the field, played in the corn pit, jumped in the big pumpkin, and explored the corn maze.  It was a full day of fun.
