OK, enough political posts. It’s September already, and will be fall next week Hard to believe–I think kids warp time so it runs faster around them. Here are a few useful sites for some fall activities with your family:
Pickyourown.org is a state-by-state listing of pick-your-own farms, along with recipes and more.
The Stormfax Guide to Fall Foliage has links to state foliage guides and hotlines, as well as a short explanation of why leaves change color, useful if you’ve got kids at the “why is everything?” stage.
If you’re like me, homemade Halloween costumes are always more fun to make and more comfortable to wear than out-of-the-box plastic ones. Babycenter.com has tips for common items that can form the basis for homemade Halloween costumes.
Halloweenishere.com has a long list of homemade costume ideas, including ones for people with wheelchairs, crutches, or respirators, as well as Halloween makeup tips.
