Fall

We had 3 little visitors for the weekend

(because their parents were in Tahiti!)

Somehow I love the craziness of taking care of little kids

(and these were four under 7)

Though they may say I am a bit of a drill sergeant

How else do you feed, bathe, beautify hair and get everyone to church on time?

Because the sun decided to melt the snow Saturday afternoon, we had to get outside and soak it in.

One thing I love to do is to winterize the yard.

Trim the hedges, pull the summer flowers out, cut down the roses and thin the trees.

Because I had 4 little ducklings following me around, I put them to work!

And they worked hard!  

They cut off every bloom and created a bed for the birds,

picked the leaves off the branches so they wouldn't fall to the ground

and hunted for berries to mash for 'soup'

After all of that, they deserved a reward so we went to the park

(the sky is always so pretty in the fall)

We played till they were 'freezing'

Sunday we went to visit our Great Autie and Uncle and their pumpkin collection

and their GREAT pumpkin....1400 lbs!

And then we had to say buh buy to the 3 little visitors

and the house was quiet again, and a little less crazy.

I swept the floors and found missing socks and toothbrushes.

Holland and I snuggled with a show and colored some more.

Oh how I am so grateful to have her and that we had our 3 little visitors.

It was a good weekend, again.
