Fall-o-ween

 Clearly, I have not been so great at keeping up with my beloved blog. With fall family photo season nearly over, I hope to be back at it regularly!  Here are a few snaps of what our fall has looked like.

Where's Mason?

He immediately regretted this decision.

My rose bush was fully of roses well into November. Mack found this heart shaped petal.

We had so much fun playing in our huge pile of leaves this fall. I'm really thankful our neighbor helped me clean them up after his girl and mine turned the pile into tiny grains of leaf dust.

Pumpkin patch day!

Good choice, Mack!

Mase was very happy with his choice. The only prerequisite was that he had to be able to carry it himself.

Hmmm...This is against the rules but it's also a very good photo op. Click first, then remove child from fence.

Finally Halloween! Both kids set their minds back in August and never really wavered from their original choices, though Mack really preferred to be a dolphin. Mase had a lot of fun being Papa.

Handing out candy to our " customers" meant that each " customer " got two treats because Mason was not about to be left out of the treat doling.

Our fall has been very mild. We usually have at least one early October snow fall and that didn't happen this year. Instead, we enjoyed temps well above average until this past Monday when we went from 70 degrees to 19 in 24 hours. Since then, we've watch snow flakes flutter past our window, accumulating to about 2 inches and our high temp today was 4. Moody Colorado, how we love you.

My little snow girl is so excited to have snow! She spends at least an hour outside every day after school.

Even Mason had fun playing outside until his gloves fell off and his soft hands met the harsh , frosty air.
