It's Beginning to Feel A Lot Like Fall

 It's beginning to feel a lot more like fall around here...at least in the mornings and evenings.  It's a good enough improvement for me.  It's fun to see so many people out and about again now that the temps are becoming bearable again.  We were cooped up way too long this summer!  

Cooler temps mean much more outdoor adventurizing for us.  Check out these fun turtles we've been visiting this week...


...I'm still trying to figure out what kind of turtle the one in the water is.  Anyone know?

We've made several trips to the park too but have also been loving our back yard.  I discovered the boys' secret stash of baby coconuts in their castle yesterday...


...it's good to know they're prepared to defend their castle, right?  While wearing my pink flip flops of course...


...fitting for breast cancer awareness month though.  Real men wear pink!

We've also been huge fans of all the halloween decorations people are putting up.  So far the boys' favorite is this cat...


...it's huge and has a head that rotates back and forth.  We have to stop and watch it every time we run by it.  Never gets old for the boys :-).  

Speaking of Halloween, we've been making some fun stuff around here for the holiday too.  We had a return of the toilet paper tube frankenstein...


...and we made a couple of cool haunted houses at Lowes today too...




Cooler weather means even more enjoyable evening story times on Wednesday nights.  This week's featured stories were... 


...it's so nice to want to linger outside afterwards instead of making a mad dash for the AC.  

We even hit up Blue Door a second time on Thursday night for a little happy hour before the homecoming parade which was a HUGE hit with the boys... 


...pretty girls, fancy cars, loud bands with drum corps, policemen...what's not to love??

And speaking of things to love, what's not to love about dancing Christmas toys in the stores already... 


...I'm not gonna lie, I'm getting excited myself for the holiday.  It is the most wonderful time of the year after all.  Happy Saturday!
