Well, summer is over. Fall has set in. This was a sign.



When the boats are in the garage and on the ceiling, it's official.

This morning the little ones crawled into bed with me. When the "cuddle" had turned into more of a "wrestle" I innocently mentioned "have you looked outside to see the weather?" Oh my! The excitement, the squeals!

This light dusting of snow was met with an instant search for snow pants and boots. As my husband got up our 4 year old chanted at him "Daddy it snowed! It snowed! I'm going out side! I knew it would snow. I'm putting on my mittens and my boots. It snowed! I'm going to play in the snow. Daddy it snowed! I'm going to make a snowman!"
