Fall fast approaching

Fall is my favorite time of the year. It is beautiful and the temperature is cool but not cold. Here on the East coast it is especially beautiful with the leaves changing. Plus who doesn't love a pair of boots.
Not sure why they are curtsying.
There is a short drive to a hill overlooking our city.
Even if all the leaves haven't changed yet, it is still very beautiful.
Any rocks of this size beg to be climbed.
There was also a fall festival in our little town. It was cute. They had a hay bale maze,
a police motorcycle,
animals and face painting.
Another favorite part of fall is Halloween. I will for sure do a separate post about Halloween, but for now...
a little sneak peak. Isn't he just beautiful?
My baby brother, Sam got married! Congrats! Abuelita came and watched all three of my kids so that I could fly out to California and see him get married. It was a beautiful and very fun wedding, so, of course, I have no pictures.

Last picture, I promise. This little boy is getting so big! He barely fits in his crib anymore. He doesn't climb out yet, so I want to keep him here as long as possible. I hope he starts sleeping curled up.

September

 It has taken me awhile to post, but September seemed to just fly by quickly. Even with school starting, things have actually been very chill. It is pretty much just Jack and me hanging out all day. Kat has full day kindergarten, so Ali and Kat get home at the same time and once they get home Jack (and the girls) go crazy.
Here is a picture of our house, and, of course, my three cuties on the porch
Ali found that it is fun to carry her sister on her shoulders in our front yard.
The gloves signify the beginning of fall. So does the brown grass, despite our neighbor with the beautiful lawn. In fairness he is a landscaper (landscape engineer?) I will post some leaves changing pictures in a few weeks.
Kat and Ali started ballet. Since I always forget my camera at the class I took a picture with my little ballerina at home. She is so silly.
Well, they are all super silly.
For Ali, starting school has been awesome. She quickly made a friend who lives close by, and rides the same bus route. First time playing scrabble.
Since Jack and I get to spend all day together, we do get to do some fun things. Last week we went apple picking. He is not a fan of the outdoors (Manhattan Beach was not abundant in raw land) so he did not want to touch any of the trees, or apples... or the grass... or the dirt. Perhaps had there been some sand and waves...
Once I picked an apple for him, and wiped it off, he was willing to eat it. They were yummy.
Despite not liking the outdoors, this tractor was a HUGE hit!
