A Nice Fall Weekend

We are enjoying all the family time we are getting because of COVID.

Steve and I have always been friends and we enjoy each other's company still. He's still the person I want to spend all my time with.

And, with his schedule, we get to be together quite a bit.

Bonus is that the girls are also home a majority of the time and even though sometimes they drive me completely and absolutely out of my mind, I know this is time that I'll never get again with them. So I'm trying to really make the most of it.

We've been spending a lot of time outside - it's changing seasons and it's just beautiful. The air is crisp, the leaves are starting to change color. The smell outside just smells like Fall.

I was at the office one of the days and I came home to Ava having found the smallest freaking snail I've ever seen. Like, microscopic almost. 

She named him Scooter. 

She's so proud of him/her. 

Full transparency - during quarantine, the girls have spent way more time on screens than I ever would have allowed in real life. Especially when I was working full time and Steve was working and I had no help. Now that we're trying to get back to some what of a normal (whatever the hell that is) life, we are slowing weaning them away from their screens. You'd think we told them their best friend was moving away the way they sulk if I take screens away. I know, I know, my fault. ANYWAY. In an effort to combat this, Steve went out and bought new Lego sets! There were super cute and fun to put together. We spent the afternoon together as a family just like what this pic shows. <Look at Mr's face....lol>

We took advantage of a nice evening and went on a golf cart ride. Excuse my face, I was worried the owners were coming to yell at me. They were not - it was a random car that pulled over to look at them too! So cute and so friendly this guy. 

Ava loved him.

He ate right out of her hand! 

THEN THERE'S THE BABY. OMG. I almost leapt off the golf cart while it was in motion to see the baby. So cute. 

It's definitely getting chilly at night. It's dropping into the 50's so it's super comfortable for sleeping, but super chilly for a golf cart ride.

Bring on Fall!
