Finally Fall!

The temperature is finally lower than 90 so we call it Fall. It actually is a little chilly if you go outside in the backyard, wearing pajamas at 6:30 in the morning. Then you might need to have a blanket wrapped around you. Running around a screaming will also help warm you up. I am sure our neighbors love us.

 

We have been lucky enough to have a couple visitors this month.

My favorite brother, Mark, spent an evening with us. Elaine was pretty devastated when she woke up the next morning and he was gone. She told me" I can't have any fun because Uncle Mark is gone." Charlotte also walked around the house saying "Mark" for several days.

The devastation did not last long since Uncle Matt came a few days later to win them over.

This is my sister Jessica's husband and the only man besides her dad that Charlotte wants to talk to on the phone everyday. What a lucky guy to be loved by such cute girls!

Of course the fall brings much birthday cake and ice cream to our house and Charlotte can never get enough. She climbed up on the table to scrape the left behind frosting from Elaine's cake.

Elaine was really excited about carving or what she calls "craving" pumpkins. I am not a huge fan. We did a couple small ones and a big one. They lasted about 2 days before the grew some disgusting mold and we had to throw them out but it was fun while they lasted.

Our last fall activity was planting winter grass. That is right, AZ gives us a chance for green grass year round. I do not participate in the planting. It is smelly and dirty which makes it perfect for a the 4 and under crowd and their Dad.
