Benson & Packer love playing in the leaves! Since all of our trees are only knee-high, they don't drop much foliage. So we take it from the neighbors and family.

Happy Halloween
It was a fun Halloween for the Atkin family. Benson was a Dinosaur, Pack-Pack was a little cow, Daddy was a Ranger's Apprentice (great book! I highly recommend it!), and Mommy was a witch (No wise cracks please!) It was a fun day & night, and Benson can't wait to do it again. Fortunately, we have another year to wait! Happy Halloween.

Hogle Zoo
Since it was such great weather on Packer's birthday -- and since it was Fall Break for Ben -- we went to the zoo!
Sliding down a Snake...
Climbing on a Spider...
Pumpkin Patchin'
Benson loved helping out in the garden this year. He was always excited to come home with fresh picked tomatoes, onions, corn, and squash. Now that it's October already, we went to the garden and picked out some pumpkins to carve. Here's Benson & Pack-Pack picking out some pumpkins, and a family picture of our haul.
Benson was so proud of his pumpkin!
Sidewalk Artist
I bought Benson some sidewalk chalk that was for sale, so on this beautiful, sunny, warm September day I let Benson & Packer decorate our driveway. Benson enjoyed drawing scribbles and lines from one end to the other, and Packer liked following him around. I thought these pictures turned out so cute of Packer!

TIMBER!!
As you can tell from the pictures, Benson had a great time.
