Fall

Fall is my favorite time of year and here in northern MN it usually lasts for only a few weeks. It can snow in October...we've had blizzards on Halloween. So needless to say we have been soaking in the summer sun that has come to visit us here in October. It was 80 degrees in our house the other day, we were tempted to turn on the AC!! Andrew borrowed a yard sweeper and made a huge pile of leaves for the girls to play in and today we carved up our pumpkins! We have another week of nice weather and sunshine (at least) so we will be soaking it in before we have to hunker down in the snow!

Fall in the front yard.

 Carving pumpkins!!!

 Mimi was a trooper. She wouldn't let us help her at all and carved her whole pumpkin herself!

 Eliana "supervised" the carving of her pumpkins! Not a lot of carving done by her.

Finished product!

 Andrew's spider.

 Mimi's happy face!

 Eliana's (or really it's mine) owl pumpkin.

Fall in the back yard.

 Jumping in the leaves!

 Who's that?

 Banzai!!!

 Pretty pumpkins.

Back yard swept free of leaves!
