Family Activities Fall Fun
• Is Palin a viable presidential candidate?
She is already one of the names being thrown around for the next go round. Jindal is another one. As of today, do you think she would be a viable candidate and have a chance at winning the GOP nomination?
• Priest Blasts Catholic Obama Voters
A South Carolina Roman Catholic priest has told his parishioners that they should refrain from receiving Holy Communion if they voted for Barack Obama because the Democratic president-elect supports abortion, and supporting him "constitutes material cooperation with intrinsic evil."
• Is DH/DP/their father capable of getting them ready for school?
or to leave the house for an outing without your help?
How about dealing with taking them places alone?
Does he cope better with just one of them if you have more than 1?

Go Apple Picking Starting in September, you can find orchards in your area that are bursting with their apple harvest. Many offer fun activities such as hay rides and corn mazes as well. Visit A Local Pumpkin Farm During the month of October, pumpkin farms usually have attractions like live music, hayrides, and crafts, not to mention the opportunity to hand select your very own pumpkin right off the vine. Fun In Your Own Backyard Rake you leaves into a big pile and let the kids jump. It is a time honored tradition that all kids love. You can also go for a nature walk. Gather beautiful leaves and bring them home. You and your kids can also use your leaves, along with crayons and paper to makes some leaf rubbing. Or you can glue them on paper, laminate them and make coasters or placemats. Write A Halloween Story Together This is a great activity to make an annual family tradition. The entire family gets to choose the characters, sometimes making inanimate objects like pumpkins and candy corn come alive. Once you create the characters, the setting and the story line, you’ll be surprised how much each family member wants to contribute to the story. Watch Halloween Movies Together Share an annual movie night together by renting “It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown,” “Bednobs & Broomsticks,” “Monsters Inc.,” or “Nightmare Before Christmas.” Make some popcorn with orange popcorn salt. Serve it with an orange drink. You could even put orange or black light bulbs in the lamps just for the special occasion. There are many Halloween-themed CDs available during this time of year. Have an all-family Halloween Dance Party and dance to all the popular Halloween songs. Your kids will watch you dance and think they have crazy parents, but maybe without admitting it, they’ll also have the time of their lives. |
Fall is a wonderful time for some fun family activities that will create special memories.
