Hibernation

What a glorious weekend! While I feel badly that we didn't make it to the park, or the zoo, or anywhere but church really, we did get a lot of stuff done around the house that needed to be completed before we hibernate for the winter. Patrick helped me paint the front door (with his bucket of "paint"), and the boys and I hung out back while Tom replaced some rotted out columns on the shed.

Who needs the park or zoo with all these leaves to play in? The sun was starting to set and everything had that warm, cozy glow that I love.

Tommy just sat quietly in his swing, soaking everything in...

But the best part of the day? When Uncle Mike made an unexpected stop and helped make P's big pile of jump leaves.
