I'm trying to get better about using my cute little Canon A620 Powershot...
And, in an effort to do so, i decided to bring it along on Ev, my, and Toby's evening walk...
:)
this is how our walk started out tonight...
((*notice toby patiently waiting far, far away from Ev's screaming hysterics*))
at which point i decided that our plan for a peaceful walk was going to hell in a handbasket.............. unless i went inside and found a paci.
notice the improvement in everyone's mood with the paci.
((Our 7th grade neighbor-friend, Anna, took the pic)) :)
So, armed with the paci, we were able to proceed...
I think Evan was a little confused by the cool, fall air...
((he kept trying to "taste" it... tongue totally sticking out... somehow i missed a pic of that... but you'll have to believe me - it was cute!))
and........ Toby totally enjoyed himself as always...
In the newly created format of Evan + Stroller + Toby + Me walks (as opposed to the more simple variety of Toby + me walks just 2 months ago!), Toby's leash now gets hooked onto the side of the stroller and he is forced to keep up!!
Which is good for him.
:)
And with delicious walks like these, I have been constantly reminded this past week of why i love fall.
LOVE IT.
(we mostly missed it last year while we were traveling in Europe...)
Love that the leaves are starting to turn here...
it's getting all crunchy everywhere...
and it just plain smells good. :)
It's def time for some apple donuts... (that is on the agenda for this weekend!)
and with that said...
this is how our walk ended...
((*i am not even going to lie and say that the leaf just landed there... i 'strategically' placed it... because it's cute... and i'm the mom and i get to do things like that...*))
;)
I love it. Precious. Looks like your walks are ao much fun!!

Too cute! Glad you had a nice walk! Wish the weather was cooler here in FL for me to enjoy walks like that - including the crunching of the leaves! Thanks for sharing!
