Indian Summer

Wasn't today an amazing mid-November day? We've been loving this VERY late Indian Summer all week. We spent every waking moment outdoors this week, even allowing the girls to miss naptime. How can I make them sleep during such beautiful weather?? I can't remember the last time we had a week of 70 degree temps in November. Thank you Lord for giving us such warm weather before the cold!
The first part of the day we spent in the backyard doing yard work. Ben bought the girls little rakes and they really love helping him rake leaves (and of course playing in the leaves, too)!

Daddy's little helpers!

Claire was even able to help with the tarp this year!

While the girls were exploring, we happened upon a woolly worm. It was a great time to do a quick Google search and teach the girls about the interesting creature! This little guy is a caterpillar that turns into a colorful tiger moth!

No lie, the girls played with the poor fellow for over an hour. Thankfully, he was still kicking after all their love!

The girls trying to find a perfect and safe place for him. Claire was very worried Daddy would run over him with a lawn mower!
Hope y'all were able to enjoy this wonderful day outdoors!
