Fall Weather

We officially have fall enter our 2016 year and it's been really nice here. Normally we have summer - one week fall - winter but this year it's been really nice and we're all enjoying a wonderful long and warm fall. The temperatures just don't want to drop and everybody is really appreciating that.

The kids and I were talking about ice skating somehow so last weekend we spontaneously went ice skating (it was their 2nd time) and we had so much fun. A friend of mine also joined in with her family. Henry was doing really well and was eager to skate and Zoe was determined to let go of that helper thing and skate on her own... maybe next time she'll be ready.

Ice Skating in action

Awards Party at Zoe's swim team... she collected again a bunch of ribbons ;). I need a new box just for ribbons soon it seems ;).

Fall cleanup. Our two now big trees in the front of the house are just letting go of leaves like crazy. And when we pick them all up... one wind minute later... all back down again but today I cleaned up another round again and it seems that there is only one more cleanup round left but at least we clean ours up regularly and not like others here just let it sit there for weeks *sight*.

I had some pumpkin puree left and made a jump pumpkin bread... oh that was delicious!
