Juma was Commander Fox, a clone trooper (from the recent cartoon The Clone Wars):
I didn't dress up, but took the opportunity to do my hair crazy:
Justin helped Juma carve a pumpkin (read: Justin carved a pumpkin for Juma) to go with Juma's costume:
Also, Juma's pet fish, Lampy Lamp died one Saturday morning. We took him our to the Amistad Memorial on the sound and had a mini-funeral. This is the same place we "buried" his other pet fish, Nemo, a few years ago. That death was rather hard on Juma, and he was upset about this one, too, but also quite practical. For example, when I suggested we say some words to remember Lampy Lamp, Juma asked, "Why? Fish die, and their bodies return to the earth. It's just what happens, Mom."
The very same day, we caught and kept a garter snake we found while hiking a few miles north of here. Juma named his new pet Sam. And the fish tank where Lampy Lamp used to live? Now full of food-fish for Sam.
We also went camping and enjoyed the mild weather and fall leaves:
Juma bought a "fossil block," a block of plaster of paris with five fossils hidden inside. So far, he's found a shark tooth and a sand dollar.
