Happy First Day of Autumn!

Today dawned much like the first day of Autumn would be expected to; it was cool, rainy, and cloudy. The rain stopped mid morning and with hyper (and crabby) little ones I decided to get some of our energy out by having us all take a walk.

It started out well, until Joe decided to take a detour towards the street. We called him back and this time around he came when called.

He stayed on track after we stopped and got a play phone from Grandma.

This guy seemed to whine throughout the whole walk. Here he is telling us for the umpteenth time NOT to walk on the cracks in the sidewalk.

He stayed grouchy the whole way, that is, until right before we reached home and he found a stick that soon became a sword.


It seems funny how our walks often turn out this way. One child straying from the set path, one grouchy, and another one who has to go potty, or wants to stop somewhere in the middle, or...
That's life with children though. I was more than ready to head home after just two blocks since the bugs are out in full force today.

I hope you all have a beautiful start to your Autumn!
