Enjoying the Fall Weather

One morning at the bus stop, Isak and Kira said, "Look at the moon!"  They were so amazed and asked me to take a picture.  I love that they notice and appreciate these types of things.

All bundled up and ready to go to school.  As the weather transitioned from hot to warm to cold, we always guessed what to wear, coat, jacket or nothing?

A colder day, we went to the park nearby us.  We needed to get out for a bit.

Pretty sky.  Do you see Isak on the bench?
We had just got some books from the library and he was very into his chapter book.  He asked if he could just read his book at the park.  It made me smile...He did play for a bit too.
Noah likes to twirl Sofie on this toy.  See the leaves on the trees in the background?  So pretty.
Snuggles with my Noah boy.  I love that he'll just come snuggle for a bit with me and then he goes and plays again.
Our tree in front of our house.
I absolutely love this red leafed tree!
Isak liked to jump and grab the leaves.
I took the kids on a one mile loop near our house.  They each walked the whole thing and very little whining.  It was awesome and so enjoyable.

We liked the crunchy leaves.




And the sky was gorgeous.  It was a beautiful day for a walk.


Little Noah with a beautiful sky.
Another day, we went to a new park.  Big Woods Park.  The kids had a great time exploring this cool park.

There was a walking trail too.  So we walked around it.

Sofie and Nels were friends.
A big pile of rocks to run on... Yay!
These two Orange/gold leafed trees!!!  ðŸ’•

I was driving home from the library and took this picture while I waited at the stoplight.  Just love all the leaves.  Fall is a pretty season.  

Park Outings - October

The weather was SO nice the first week of October and then it steadily got colder and crisper every week after.  We tried to take advantage of those wonderful warm days!

Noah loves Mickey Mouse.  He took Mickey to the bus stop with him one day.  So I took this cute picture of him...

We went to the park after school to enjoy the warm weather.  It's Randall Square park.  The kids love this park and it's nearby.

They were nice and let me do a little photo shoot with them.  Here's my girls.

Noah boy.

And Isak boy.
I hopped in one...
Heehee.  Aren't these so cute!!  They actually listened and did what I asked them too.

It was a pretty fun photo shoot.

My boots...
Another time---The older kids went to a birthday party.  So Nels and I took Sofie and Noah to a nearby park for a little while.  It was fun to be with the littles.
Of course, they loved the attention.
And this is what I looked like.  haha.
Sofie and Noah got a scavenger hunt worksheet from preschool.  So our whole family went on a walk to find the items.  
We looked for a pile of leaves, pinecones, squirrels and more.
See Noah marking the paper with what he found.
It was pretty cute and fun to do this as a whole family.  And again, Sofie and Noah loved the attention.

I took all the kids to SportsClips so Isak could get a haircut.  They had little monsters for the other kids to make while we waited for Isak to get his hair cut.  And then suckers at the end.  A fun little outing.
We went to the library.  We explored a new section of the library.  The kids sat on big colorful benches.  So...picture time...




Magnet shapes...
There is this display case in the library.  They change out the items every few weeks.  This week was Firetrucks.  Noah was so excited he could barely stand it!
Another time we went to the library, they had this cool magnet board.
And Kira and I created this black and white piece of art work.
The leaves of this tree turned red.  ðŸ’•  It made me smile every time  I saw it.  

More outings to come...
I decided to break it up a little so the post wouldn't be so long.  :)
