Back yard fall fun

We love our back yard...it hold so many memories all ready. In the fall we spend so much time playing football games there. This was one of the first big backyard games of the season!

Here's to many more football fun to come this fall!

Water races

 One of the things the littles love to do...is water races. They made it up...but love it oh so much! Our driveway pad in the back is slightly slanted downward...so if you get a cup of water and pour it.....it flows down the driveway. Your cup of water verses my cup of water!

 They laugh and cheer for their water...then go refill and do it again!  And after the races they check to see if it made any cool shapes...today the one on the right is clearly a lady with her hand on her hip! ;)

Magical Mondays

Mondays for most are well....hard....back to work...back to the routine after an all too quick weekend...but for us Mondays are magical. No one has soccer....no one has ballet...no running out the door to cross country....we are home and for now even though the leaves are turning around us...it is still like summer is here for a moment. Jeremy was at work and then started his Ironman workout tonight so it was just me and the kids. We got their mountain of homework out of the way, had a great dinner, took baths and headed up to what SK calls Homemade Chicken and Pie (Homemade Pie Kitchen)for ice cream in our pajamas. On the way home we rolled the windows down and we sang Dynamite as loud as we could.... there is something about the wind blowing through your hair and a good song just feels good way down deep in your soul. When we got home it was to the back yard for soccer , duck duck goose, and twirling...just backyard fun until the night crept in and then it was time for bed! Oh it was a magical Monday!
