Maeve has started to draw people and kids drawing people may be one of my most favorite milestones! So, I was really excited for this art project - drawing faces on pumpkins. I had previously water colored the pumpkin shapes and then I gave the kiddos black pens and encouraged them to draw all sorts of emotions on their pumpkins. I was so satisfied with the end result!

Holly made Maeve this scarf and it's so cute and soft! Aren't big sisters just the sweetest? The scarf even has a pom-pom on each end.

I took the littles tobogganing one afternoon and goodness, they could've gone all afternoon! They did so great at taking turns pulling the sled up the hill and sitting in the front. I had to walk Maeve up the hill each time so I got my workout in. Afterwards, hot chocolate with marshmallows.

The first snow of the year is always magical (even if it did rudely ruin fall). I think my very favorite thing about the first snow is how much time the kiddos spend playing in it! It's a major Mom win! The snow stuck around for quite some time too allowing for all sorts of fun!

Pulling out all my crafty skills for my kiddos! When Holly and Greta were little, I did crafts with them all the time. Now I'm busier (to put it mildly) and crafts are infrequent, but everyone sure loves it when I pull out the fun arts and crafts supplies! This past week, we painted little pumpkins and made pipe cleaner and bead pumpkins. Simple, yet effective!
