this calls for apple cider

I know most of America has been experiencing some freakish weather this week.  We've had some odd weather, too - in the form of 70 degree days!  It has been unseasonably warm, which is puzzling to the senses when you walk outside and immediately shed your jacket.  It was inspiring, and I found Matt outside attacking trillions of leaves outside our house yesterday with the leaf blower.  I don't think I'll find him there today, as it has dropped 25 degrees overnight.  It's cloudy, blustery, and the type of day that necessitates a mug of apple cider.  Don't worry, I've got one.

Yesterday, however, was sunny and bright, and a certain proud kindergartner's fall party.  I decided to walk to the party and pushed a tired two-year-old in his stroller through the windy streets, passing the entire second grade on their walking field trip to the park.  Everyone was loving the day!  

This kindergarten party was quite adorable and well planned, unlike the chaos I was anticipating.  All the kids had made shirts to be either pumpkins or ghosties.  


There were crafts,

scary treats,
 

a mummy station, 

and plenty of exclamations on how adorably he treated his little brother.

By the time the party ended, the little guy was no longer tired, but raring to go!  We headed to the duck pond for some afternoon exploring.

"I want to hug a duck!" 


This picture actually points towards our house.  The white house on the left is our nearest neighbor.  We can't see the water from our house because a stand of trees blocks the view - those are our trees!  I love living close to this pond, and Moose loves it, too.  Everybody walks their dogs here.
