Fall & Leaves = Fun Times For Kids

Did you notice I said, "Fun times for kids"? I LOVE watching them play, but I think everyone knows that fall is not my favorite. I'm just sayin'. Come to think of it, I think we've only had about 2 weeks of fall. It snowed here today! No accumulation or anything, but it was still the white stuff coming from the sky.


It is hard to be a parent to toddlers...let alone 3 toddlers. But to have to endure the winter time with those 3 toddlers makes it even harder. There is no getting out & going swimming or going for a bike ride or going for a walk or running through the sprinkler or jumping on the trampoline. It's me...and them. And sometimes, we all get a little bit of cabin fever. Sometimes, a little bit of the "Jack" from the movie, The Shining wants to come out.


Enough about the winter that is around the corner. Now look at these oh so cute photos of the kids playing outside in the leaves.

Both of their faces crack me up

Come and get me

Worn out

Outside

Fall is here, folks. Pumpkins, leaves, jackets, etc. I have to make myself let the kids play outside. It is hard when it is 40-50 degrees. But once we get playing, things start to warm up. I have lots of pictures of them on the trampoline. Did you know we have a trampoline? Yea, we got it after their birthday...in July. They rarely play on it. And Nate & I tend to curse that under our breath. That sucker took a while to put up. Not to mention it was about 95 that day. You know what the frustrating part is? My sister has the exact same trampoline & when we go to her house, which is about 2 minutes away, the kids say, "Can we play on the trampoline!?" You guys do know you have one in our back yard, right?

Someones always gotta cry. It is usually Jasper.

Perfect form, Jonah
