They might be dead but they are a whole lot of fun to throw, collect and jump into.

6 days away, we celebrate Halloween with our pre-school friends at LANK.

Every year we pick our pumpkins at Great Country Farms in Bluemont, VA. The wagon ride to the pick-your-own field along with the stunning view makes this a favorite spot.

 The table is set, costumes are on
Family arrives, the party has begun!

We all need one. Someone that will have our back, always, whose loyalty is unwavering. A friend, a sidekick. Traditionally sidekick has a negative connotation, someone that is secondary to the hero. But what is so important about a sidekick is that they complement their hero perfectly. Yin yang, balance. If the hero is brawn the sidekick is brains, if the hero is dreamy the sidekick is reality, if the hero is brooding the sidekick is humor. We all need a sidekick, someone that will laugh at our jokes on queue but also do the exact opposite of what we think we need, balancing us perfectly.
