Can you believe these pictures were taken within a few days of each other?! The week started out with some nice warm fall days and then less than a week later we were hit with a blizzard. We had TONS of leaves in our backyard. The kicker is that we also do not have any trees in the backyard. However, our neighbors do happen to have lots of trees in their backyards. Abby saw all those leaves and wanted to go out and walk around. I raked up a small pile and she had a ball jumping in them. We went out a few days later and got them raked up. Nathan loved walking through them and hearing the crunching noise they made when he stepped on them. Then the blizzard hit. Abby was so excited for the first snow of the season. As soon as Nathan went down for a nap, we bundled up and went outside. She wanted to make a snowman, but the snow just wasn't sticky enough. She had fun sliding down the slide and into the snow. We made snow angels and Abby loved the footprints we left behind ("look mom I'm making feets in the snow!"). We had a fun time and then when she finally got cold enough, we went in and warmed up with hot chocolate. It was fun but I am glad it has warmed back up for the time being!
