Autumn is Here!

With the evenings getting darker and the weather getting cooler it is safe to say that autumn has well and truly arrived.  Moving house has coincided with the thick winter duvet coming back out, the heating being put  on a timer to come on every morning and evening and the foot muffs being zipped back on to the pushchairs.

Dylan is the proud owner of his very first cosy coat after spending last year in full body snow suits and my scarf collection is hanging by the door waiting to keep me snug.  Winter boots, mittens, hot chocolate, Christmas films, slippers and cosy nights by the fire are the things I look forward to and so far my autumn treats are not disappointing! 

Winter is not all about being cuddled up inside though and with two of us suffering from cabin fever if we don't get out all day it is safe to say we are getting plenty of
use from our wellies this season! 

The park is now at the end of our road meaning no pushchair is needed for a quick trip out and we have been loving splashing in puddles and stomping through the fallen leaves.  We have ignored the rain by crawling through tunnels and defied it by playing on the swings. We have gone for long walks with the pushchair examining every stick, bush and insect we can find and we have wrapped up warm to visit the mini farm and practice our oinking at the pigs.

We have done lots of reading and even more shape sorting and there have been plenty of cuddles. We have welcomed in autumn and are looking forward to snow, snuggles on the sofa and Santa Claus as the temperature drops even further   Unfortunately moving house meant that Halloween and Bonfire Night were not big occasions this year, but we are looking forward to Father Christmas's first visit in our new house and I have the fairy lights and snow flakes ready and waiting for December to appear.

How have you been enjoying the autumn days and nights?
