Autumn is our family’s season
We’re in the midst of a few day back-n-forth counter offer on our house. Hoping it will end in a sale this week so we can look forward to the new place (we have our top 2 choices). It’s been rough on the kids keeping the house neat and tidy. I decided to give them a special treat for all their efforts. They got to pick out new bed comforters, which have certainly brightened up their rooms. Pictures later.
A few weeks ago when the fall colors were at their peak, we took some photos at a nearby trail. They turned out fabulous and I wanted to share a few with you. These are our children ages 1, 3, 6, and 8. Aren’t they photogenic!? Not bad for a spur of the moment photo shoot!
Just before arriving here, we joined our neighbors at Thompsons Greenhouse annual kids event, complete with maze, inflatable jumper and pumpkin painting.
One school day we all needed some fresh air, so we went to Lake George for a walk and playground time. It was an amazing fall day.
The ducks followed us around the whole pond. Next time we need to remember some bread and a stroller!
With all the warm days, Tom finally got to paint our window wrap/trim. Never got so many comments on our house as we did that week.
It really stands out now. One lady hit it right on the nose… “Someone who lives here watches a lot of HGTV and has an eye for color.” That’s me in a nutshell!
All this nature and it seems only right that I have 2 boys to dig into it. Don’t get me wrong, my 2 girls get dirty too. But my boys seem to have a passion for digging, just like their daddy. We will NEED a new sandbox at the next house.
My oldest son is in his first year of Cub Scouts. We’ve noticed a change in him this fall, embracing his spirited nature and building on his strengths. Spending more time with his dad has made it extra special.
Mikayla is enjoying Soccer when we make it there, and enjoying her allowed freedom to ride her bike around the neighborhood – by herself!
Thanks for sharing these memories with me!
