I can’t believe it’s so freakin’ cold out right now when two days ago we were just outdoors enjoying crunching leaves and playing soccer out back.

Nathan was insistent that I take a picture of him with his “mad face”.

But for the most part we had a great time outdoors.

We originally had gone outside to set out the squirrel goodies that Nathan had brought from preschool. The bag was full of sunflower seeds, popcorn kernels, popcorn and I think one other thing. Anyway, we set it out on the storage unit we have in the far corner of our yard and had seen several squirrels while we were out there but no takers. So we came in later then played and got ready for naptime. And just as I was hanging up the phone with a friend of mine (the kids had been asleep for about 30 minutes by this point) I looked outside and saw this:

I quickly ran upstairs and tried to wake Nathan up so he could enjoy seeing the squirrel eating his treats but N8 was sound asleep. He had so wanted to see it for himself but when he woke up I told him that I’d captured a few pictures and he was okay with that. We’ll have to try it again once it gets warm enough for squirrels to be out, which I am sure is several months away.
