Everyone selected a pumpkin. Afterward the conversation went like this: Me - "This year can we paint the pumpkins?" Jason - "sure, and then we'll make some chocolate chip cookies without chocolate chips". Me- "Easy for you to say. I am the one stuck doing all the cleaning and carving." Jason- "I always do it, don't I guys?" Guys - "um, no Daddy, you never have." 
Max and Jake in the Corn Maze. The maze was supposed to take 45 minutes, but with Dad the expert map reader they were out in about 15! They did protest about having to stop to pose for a picture, of course.
Max, posing by the "Big Max" pumpkins. (which could be yours for $80!)
Jake and Max sported their favorite color in their hair for "crazy hair day" at school. While food coloring looks cool in your hair; it is not so cool all over my beautiful, fluffy white towels. Jake took it upon himself to rinse his out after school and used one of my lovely bath towels. (I guess that is what bleach is for...)
The boys ready to start the first day of school.
Jake is pedaling off to start the 4th grade.
Our annual trip to Point Mugu....Max, Russell, and Jake pose on the beach!
Max riding the waves.
Sam mad at the photographer. He wouldn't stop and build him a sand castle.
Jake and Max getting clobbered!
Jake getting brave in the ocean.
Jason, Jake, and Max went to a Dodger's game. They got to see a Grand Slam, eat lots of Dodger Dogs, and see the Dodgers win.
