Beautiful fall day

I went out to take out the trash this morning and I knew we had to go for an early morning walk. It was such a beautiful day! I bundled them up, gave Madeleine a waffle and milk, and we went for a long walk.
This is our street, not quite as many trees as the rest of the neighborhood, but still really pretty.
My view from the top. John Paul fell asleep before we were even off our street, and we walked for at least an hour before he woke up. Madeleine and I looked for pumpkins on porches and colorful leaves. We talked about how beautiful the leaves were, all the different colors, and how God made them like that. We talked about how the seasons were changing and it was getting colder and soon winter would be here.
The sun was shining through the leaves on our favorite street, where the leaves form a canopy over the road.
When we got home, I let John Paul sleep in his stroller for a few minutes while Madeleine and I raked up a small pile of leaves for her to jump in. He woke up and was a happy boy!
Madeleine was thrilled that our entire driveway was covered with leaves. She watched It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown last night and really liked it, especially the part where Lucy's lips touch Snoopy's when they're bobbing for apples. I thought the child was going to fall off the couch she was laughing so hard! She's enjoying wearing all kinds of hats these days!
I love these days of playing outside before it gets too cold! I hope she always loves playing outside!
