Cold weather crafts

The boys are just beside themselves waiting for real snow to fall.  Here they are,Nast at work making their own snowflakes...not quite the same, but fun, nevertheless.

New haircuts and crazy bedhead

Letter to Santa

Arlo got really excited by the first real snow of the year (actually both boys were trying to scoop up frost this morning, and this afternoon they were dancing and running around the yard in a quarter inch of the fist snow of the season).  The excitement turned into constant talk of Christmas and Santa.  Thus...the list writing.  Can you read what he wrote and figure out his wishes?

Yard Work

The guys just love raking leaves.  Now I each leaf needs to be raked at least a dozen times before it makes it in the compost bag...but who is counting when there is fun to be had?

Pumpkin harvest time

One day this week Otis n daddy decided to take the pumpkins from the garden before squirrels get em.  Here Otis us with the harvest.

Apple Picking Adventure!

The boys were awake and raring to go (Arlo at 4:30am) on our apple picking outing Sunday.  We were meeting their friends, the twins, and Henry, so that added to the excitement, along with the idea of horse wagon rides, straw bale jumps, corn mazes, and apples galore!
