Fall time

The weather has definitely turned cooler here in Minnesota after a nice Indian summer.  With the cooler weather, though, it means we spend more time inside which drives both me and Russell a little crazy.

Russell has been doing lots of warm clothes modelling. He loves his puffy vest and likes to pat his tummy when he wears it. Russell loves to carry his chair around the house so he can always watch the action wherever it is happening.

I've done some sewing projects recently to use up the fabric I have filling boxes and boxes here in the apartment and in our storage shed. I am must excited for Russell's Halloween costume which started out pretty rough, but after a few changes turned out to be pretty darn cute. I'm hoping over the next week I can teach Russell how to properly trick-or-treat, but that might be hard since he doesn't seem to want to say very much.

Ben has stayed busy with school and projects around the apartments. This week is MEA break so he tackled the garage and is checking things off our winterizing to-do list. He still can't believe he has passed the bar exam. He still checks just to make sure it is true. Ben really enjoyed our date night last week so he could preview the movie Gravity to see if he could work it into his conceptual physics curriculum and take his class to see it. It was good, but there were a few scenes that I did not enjoy thanks to the 3D.

We hear that snow is looming on the horizon and are hoping that we don't get much more than a few stray flakes for a few more weeks.Until then, we will try to get as much outside time as we can.
