Thankfully, it turned in to a gorgeous afternoon, so we were able to do a little exploring in Maplewood after all. The leaves aren't quite at peak, but it was still beautiful.

leaf days
My plan was to spend Saturday at Maplewood State Park, but after several days of rain and even more on Saturday morning, we opted for a driving adventure instead. We picked up my parents and drove part of the Ottertail Scenic Byway. We even learned a few things along the way!

glasses debut
Eli got his glasses on Monday, but he didn't want to wear them at school. I told him he could just wear them at home for a few days, but I wanted him to wear them for picture day. Luckily, he agreed, and today was the day. After hiding behind me and a folder as he walked into his classroom, it sounds like his day went really well.
Noah has been begging me everday for over a week to get a Wolverine costume, so we finally made a trip to Target today. Is there any chance he'll still want to be the same thing in a month?

Summer Snow in North Dakota
And yes...it is still officially summer. Stole these pics from my sister's blog, who lives in Bismarck...and yes...that really is a deck covered in actual snow. And it is still summer...did I mention that? Seriously. Bad news.

sneak peek
This might be the only time you see them because the soon to be owner of these glasses is not planning to wear them.
After a trip to the eye doctor on Monday afternoon, we found out that Eli is far-sided, and his left eye is MUCH stronger than his right. I thought getting a two year old to wear glasses would be hard, but I think this is going to be worse! Yep, I should have had his eyes checked over the summer. It would have been a lot easier to START school with them. Any suggestions???

1st grader
too cold for outdoor pictures
His desk is in the back of the room. When we went to back to school night last week, I asked him if he could read the names on the white board, and he said they were too far away. His eye doctor appointment is scheduled for Monday.

new specs
We picked up Noah's bifocals on Wednesday. Whenever he looks in the mirror, he claims he doesn't like them. Today he said "these are teacher glasses". 
Austin
This kid cracks me up! He can be so ornery, and since I am his aunt and not his mom, I find it hysterical. Today he was ramming a car into my leg.
Me: "Why are you hitting me with that car?"
Austin: "Because I love you".
