Fall

It's getting colder and the leaves are finally starting to fall. I love their little Mini Boden fleeces, which they needed the other day while playing on the deck.....

They adore ring around the rosie, and each other....

And I adore them!

The Orchard

We tried to find an orchard that was off the beaten path. We decided to check out Highland Orchard. We were pleasantly surprised with the apples..

Examining rotten apples

The pumpkins left a lot to be desired, but Alex practiced his best future album cover pose while surveying the goods...

 We had the hayride all to ourselves and it was a big hit as evidenced by the tears when we had to get off at the end....

 

 Even though we didn't come home with pumpkins, it was a pretty great October day.

Random Happenings

Just a few photos from our week. Brynn's maternal instincts have kicked in. She takes very good care of baby doll and elmo. I stumbled upon this scene where she had put blankets (really burp clothes, but oh so close) over them.

She enjoys practicing her ladylike sitting..

Alex couldn't care less about baby doll, but would rather perfect his jump shot and conduct some business....

And pull his pants down to see if anyone thinks he's funny. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

In other news... well there is none. Just looking forward to Halloween....

Welcome October!

We went to the Elmwood Park Zoo and had to break out the vests! This is a great zoo for little kids because it isn't crowded and you don't have to fight for space to see the animals. They don't have any animals that are really exotic, but Brynn and Alex think buffalo, elk and turtles are pretty cool.

These two don't walk anywhere anymore, they prefer to run.....

and climb....

They tested out some Halloween costumes....

 This is the best we could do last year....

Happy Fall!
