Fall Play - Winter Play

This fall was long, but way too short. The days were pleasant and beautiful. The leaves seemed to fall late, which made it seem like it was lasting longer that it really did.

I did a lot of raking at my mom's house. Oliver loves to help in the yard, and he's a pretty good helper too. This was the first year he jumped full on into the leaves and completely loved every minute of leaf pile play! It was so fun! (Can you find him in the gigantic pile?)



But then, all of a sudden, and way too soon, winter came. We got quite a bit of snow Thanksgiving week. Luckily Oliver was all geared up and started playing in the snow almost as soon as it came.

So far this winter he has had fun shoveling snow at my mom's house (in the wrong direction however - see, he's scooping it onto the sidewalk), sledding with dad and cousins after Thanksgiving dinner, and building a snow castle at our house.

Hopefully the rest of winter will be this much fun!
