Caught-up...finally!

Fall Leaf Play

Tuesday morning Henry and I raked up leaves, then made it rain. He was unsure at first but warmed up to the idea of leaves falling in his face. Cora joined us after her nap and immediately loved it. I love how photos of Cora and Henry alternate from wary faces, sizing each other up to beaming smiles.

Barn Visit

Mary and Warren were graciously hosted us for an afternoon at the farm. We met and scared the sheep. Cora managed to get a fist full of sheep poop (caught before it entered the mouth :) And, Henry really enjoyed scooping corn into the metal bucket. A beautiful Sunday afternoon! Thank you Mary and Warren!

Handholding

Scott was able to catch this moment while I drove. Something to look back on when they are fighting like cats and dogs :)

Pumpkin Painting

Our budding artist had a new canvas - pumpkins and gourds!

Jello Playtime

Sensory fun time! A beautiful cool morning found us outside squishing (and eating) jello with our fingers. Cora thought is was pretty interesting but had more fun splashing in the water table. Henry (the little cook) enjoyed stirring the jello in warm water making a red, leafy soup. I spent as much time setting up and cleaning up as the kids did playing :)

Pumpkin Patch

A fun Saturday excursion to a U-Pick Pumpkin Patch near Rockford. We missed Cora's nap time which is pretty evident through the photos. Henry was much more serious about pumpkin selection this year! A great day with unseasonably warm weather.
