It's Gworgeous Out There

The children have been given strict orders to spend as much time outdoors as humanly possible because as sure as hail and snow in Rochester on Halloween, winter is just around the corner. It's then when the cabin fevers set in.

don't let this seemingly peaceful scene fool you, Lena was burying Simon's beloved stuffed dog in a bed of leaves and he was wigging out- while I tried my best to stay uninvolved

but soon it was time to intervene

Maybe it's the fact that I had my eyes checked a few weeks ago and I'm wearing my contacts more frequently than last year, but this fall has knocked my socks off!

And to those of you who don't really have a fall, (or a winter for that matter) just remember to think fondly of us come February when you're raking leaves in short sleeves and we're scraping our windshields wearing Parkas in 17 degree weather long after the magical feeling of snow has faded for the season.

We totally deserve fall.
