Fall Outdoors

This crazy ol' weather has stayed warm for quite some time. 
We were picking tomatoes from our garden the first week in November. I can't ever remember a time that has happened. The upside is that the boys can play outside without getting all bundled up! And they are always up for playing outside.

Fall has arrived

Getting to stay at home with these two is a good thing...in my mind. 
Its also a really good thing, that fall is trying to arrive! 
We spent a chunk of time outside just playing in the leaves and looking at them.





Happy happy boys!


My little artist loves to paint with watercolors. I draw a picture (I look off an image, I am not an artist!)...and he will paint it!

Our fall days

So many good times outside this fall. The weather was lovely.

Christian loves to shoot baskets...I love watching his expressive personality.


Jonah and Daddy

This tree in our backyard looks so clean, crisp and fall like in the late afternoon.

 Kansas sunsets, you are among my favorite.

Apple Cider Donuts....they smelled delicious...and tasted oh so yummy.

My two kitchen helpers are often willing to climb up and get involved!


Great Grandpa John (90 years old) rode his bike over to check out Noah's new bike.

We use the tree house swings quite often.
Noah took it to a new level, bringing his pillow...while wearing his cape. Brining nap time to the swing set.

We go on walks when we can, rarely do we go TOO far with Noah on his balance bike..but he's getting better at it!

And some days, I hook them up to the bike and we go on a bike ride. On this day, I had biked into town to the post office..and they both fell asleep on the way back...so I kept going. They stayed sleeping for at least 20 minutes after I stopped at home. It was the sweetest.

Morning's can start out pretty lazy...
they both like to see Christian get on the bus, if they are awake,




 Jonah is so fond of his biggest brother..it is so cute. And Christian is usually gracious to give him the hugs and kisses that he wants. Christian actually asked to hold him..which isn't usually the case..I said, "good luck, he's not much for sitting still anymore!!"
But as it turns out, he loved every second (well, for at least several seconds anyway!).


Christian was studying "Tom Turkey" at school, and he had the idea to ask Grandpa for some old ties to use for Tom Turkey's Tail!

Bear.
We refer to Jonah as this...and for several reasons. He is kinda a teddy bear, he makes the growling sound very well, and on occasion we just need a different name to call him :)

 Lots and lots and lots of coloring goes on in our house. 
Noah gets pretty particular about his pictures, and NEEDS to fill them with color!

Pure joy

It was a beautiful afternoon...so we spent some time outdoors.
I raked a 'few' leaves with some help from Noah while Christian was at school. 
He was SO excited when he came home, to jump and play in them!

They played in them for quite some time. 
Squeals, laughter, running, jumping, throwing leaves up in the air, and many many smiles.
Hearts full of joy.






Jonah observed for the most part...he loves to watch his brothers.

We let him down for a bit and he had his first real encounter with Stella, without anyone holding him.
She didn't get close enough to find out just how grabby his little hands are (which is probably a good thing for both of them).

Oh they just loved it!







A fall favorite for sure.
