It Feels Like Summer Again

At the end of September we had a surprise heat wave. It was technically still summer (for the first two days of the heat wave) but with temperatures near 100, it was very atypical weather. But who are we kidding, we loved it and dragged the pool out to have a swim day in the back yard.

Charlotte didn't want to do the pool or sprinkler, but she still enjoyed the summer resurgence 

One day I took the afternoon off work and met some friends up at Cantigny Park. It was just too nice to be sitting at a desk. Since it was a school day, Noah couldn't join us. But Wyatt and Charlotte had a lovely time.

More warm day fun

  
They love having parties

  

And spending time in the back yard

  

  

Another day we had a fall photo shoot planned, so unfortunately the kids had to begrudgingly don pants, long sleeve shirts, and boots in 93 degree heat. Sorry kids. But the camping themed pictures turned out super cute. Charlotte, as usual, didn't want to smile, but later in the session the manager came to help and got her to crack a few smiles. I love the Penny's photo manager.

Since it was close to the summer birthdays, we also did a four year old picture for Wyatt and a two year old picture for Charlotte. Charlotte's measuring stick is technically upside down, but she cooperated enough to hold it and smirk so I call that a win.

Here's a fun behind-the-scenes picture
