- summer.fall.winter.BOOM! -

Did someone say, " S N O W  D A Y ? !"

Yessss!

But first, can I just have seven seconds to sulk about the fact that we were totally gypped out of fall this year??!  I. LOVE. FALL, and I'm so mad that we only had a couple weeks [at best!] of legit autumn weather.  It went from scorching hot through September/early October to freezing cold in November -- and with very minimal "happy weather" in between! One month the kids were picking out pumpkins and planting mums in their summer sundresses, and the next month we were bundling up in five layers to trick-or-treat in our FROZEN wardrobes.  What the hey????

But still, we set the bipolar weather aside and carved out a few "fall weekends" for ourselves, and they were full of all of our favorite things!

...Like crafting!

And drinking hot chocolate! [Scarlett's first time!]

We played at the park with friends without sweating our booties off...

...conjured up a few fun fall treats for Harper's snack day at Pre-K...

...planted a tree at the Children's Museum with Harper's class...

...and alsoooo hit up the local pumpkin patch with Grammy!

We even enjoyed a special lunch at Freddy's afterwards! 

[Amidst all of our fun, we also checked on Daddy and took food out to the house for him almost every evening! Looking so forward to a quickly-approaching move in day!]

So there! Non-"fall" weather, you couldn't/didn't stop us from enjoying the season!!!

.....Although, this will easily go down as the shortest season ever, because now we're officially on to winter!

- Family pics [again...]! -

The girls' teachers at school [AKA daycare] have been asking us to send a family picture to hang in their classrooms for a few weeks now, so -- instead of printing a copy of our last decent family photo -- I decided to throw down an impromptu Saturday evening mini-shoot!  We went to Mass and dinner with the rentsies and then convinced them to swing by the park for a "night cap" to help get this session accomplished. Thanks, Dad, for snapping some pics of the four of us; and double thanks to Mom for jumping around behind the camera like a clown to get the littles to face forward and [sort of] smile! And Brian, per usual, pulled off his "hair fixing and skirt fluffing" job like a pro! :)

BTW -- matching "sister outfits" [again] compliments of Grammy Resa! I adore them!

We love these little people more than words can say!!!
