Tiny expandable jelly beads- how large will they become after absorbing water?

Autumn Fun in Late October

Painting the pumpkins

Last weekend brought a wonderful time with close friends

in Judsonia.  Blaine's Best Buddy, Jon Caleb, invited several

terrific kids to his home for a Pumpkin Painting Party. 

The weather was beautiful, sun shining and warm. 

After some very creative painting of pumpkins,

the children enjoyed a Skeleton Scavenger Hunt, and

a delightful Hayride.  Some of the boys had a litle adventure to

see the pond, too.  Free play was enjoyed by all, and then

each kid had the chance to fill a bag with their favorite

treats from the "Candy Buffet."
