Fall Fun

Cool days, crisp nights. Trying (and mostly failing) to keep socks on little baby feet. This is how we are making the transition into the fall season. Except for two days ago, when it was 90 degrees and breaking records. Then we took the Rubbermaid bins onto the patio, filled them with water and splashed around in their makeshift pools. That was good, too. And noone got beaned by a falling acorn.

Here are lots of pictures of our recent days.

Not sure how well this bodes for my new business of selling toys. (Interested? Message me!! Shameless self promotion!!!)
