Feeling Like Fall

This morning we woke up to our first really cool day. It felt like Fall for the first time. Crisp, clear, and about 40 degrees. Today is the first time the boys are wearing long pants to school instead of shorts. K & O were so excited to bring a present to their teachers this Monday morning -- yesterday while walking in the woods at the Castle Playground Park we collected acorns for Miss Kathy and Miss Diana (the nursery school classroom is called the "Acorn Room" so acorns were especially exciting to find). These photos were taken at 7:30 this morning. You can see Kyle holding a ziploc bag -- filled with acorns. K & O were excited to go out on the deck to "feel the cold." They discovered that they could see their breath. They loved blowing their breath into the air and "seeing it streaming!" (i.e., seeing it steaming!). And they were happy, too, to run inside to eat their warm waffles (Owen) and pancakes (Kyle) when Papi called "Breakfast time!"
