I headed outside with the boys after nap nearly every day last week to rake up the leaves. It was beautiful and around 70 every day!
Andrew decided that Matthew's hood was a food processor and he had to load it up to chop up leaves!
While Andrew helped me rake, Matthew realized he's big enough to explore the cozy coupe!
Matthew waited until we got a nice big pile to crawl on over and make a big mess.
There's been a ton more cozy reading and coffee time happening in our house because of the chill in the air:
Andrew and Matthew have started playing together so much more! Here's them having fun being gated off so I could cook dinner one night:
I've found that putting Matthew in the walker when we're outside is a great way to keep him from eating gravel and other fun stuff he finds in the cracks of the sidewalk! He loves cruising up and down the driveway and down the sidewalk. He also is pretty obsessed with his cool big brother.
Haha--I wanted to capture 1 picture of Andrew helping me rake, but didn't realize how sad he looked in the picture I got! Haha--I swear he was really loving helping me! :)
The temperature was 72 last Thursday and now we are looking at under 50 all week and single digits at night! The ski resorts are opening tomorrow and it looks like fall may be done and winter here to stay!
child labor, eh?
ReplyDeleteGreat photos..trying to figure out where the gate is.
They are gated off in the hallway upstairs--they have access to toys in Matthew's room, but can't get to me in the kitchen. We are still thinking about doing a huge gate for the living room, but Matthew's been taking more steps and I am starting to feel like I can just push through until he can be trusted more. We'll see!
