Is it October already?

I know one of the very best luxuries of homeschooling is the ability to make the most of every season and not rush into the dining room table the minute the first leaves change colors.  This fall, we have pressed apples and made homemade apple cider which was absolutely delicious. I prefer it chilled, but I know some people would rather drink it warm. Anyway, I took some great pictures of the kids paying in the leaves at a state park in Missouri. We really loved the beautiful drive through the forest and seeing all of the leaves changing colors.  I regret that we haven't been able to visit New England in the fall yet, it was on our wish list but we haven't done it yet.  What else.... I guess we're just now sitting down to focus on books and learning. The kids have really been enjoying electronic books on their desktop computers because we moved them into the bedrooms so they can access them easier.  What about you?  Have you enjoyed the weather or did you stick yourself inside the minute the school bell rang?
