Soaking up every minute

It won't be long and this beautiful weather we have been having will be over and snowflakes will start to fall.
Until then we are making sure that we are taking advantage of every last minute that we can enjoy being outside.

This week the girls played together and their imaginations really showed through.

First Hannah was going to build a house.



"Mom, how's it look?"
"I'm buiding a house but....uh....how do you build a house, anyways?"

  We followed with a campfire in the front yard.  A pretend fire of course.

"Mom, we should talk about what a gorgeous night it is.  Isn't it a gorgeous night?"

No summer/fall night is complete without a game or two of Mr Fox.  This year Hailey gets in the mix too.

"LUNCHTIME!"

 A little while later the babies were packed up and Hannah was on her way to the garage.



"Hey Bean!  Where you heading?"
"Oh, just to Ecuador."

We spotted a frog and the girls insisted we pick him up and put him in a bowl for a few minutes.

"Hannah, ok, that's been enough.  Let's let him go now so he can find his mommy and daddy."
"But mom- we are his family now."
"Honey, I think he would be happiest with his mommy and daddy.  What if he was on his way there to meet them when we picked him up and put him in that bowl?  We should let him go."
"I know!  We could bring him to the cabin with us.  He would love it there and could make new froggie friends!  Do you think we should do that?!"
