Fall

Autumn is finally here, although some days you wouldn't really know it. Having lived in the North for 27 years of my life, I consider anything above 60 degrees to be Summer. Today it was 75. Despite the warm weather, the leaves still die and fall and our back yard was getting out of control.

 

 

Our poor sandbox was decimated by the monsoon summer we had.

 

Here is a picture of Izzy Lizard just chillin' on the speaker outside near the door to the deck. He is one of our many new lizard friends who have decided to live on our porch for some reason. We don't mind them at all, but it means we have to open and shut the back door very quickly. We've already had several sneak in, and one terrible (gross) tragedy.

 

                                                                         

 

We finally broke down and bought an electric leaf blower.

Still not perfect, but much better.

Things can get pretty routine when you have little kids, so we are always on the lookout for new places to go, especially parks. Last weekend we found a new one not too far from our house.

 

 

 

Today we met up with my friend Kat and her son who is in Baylor's class (the Huggers) at daycare. 

 

 

Beck is really sweet with little kids. He has told us he wants to be a baby doctor when he grows up. He also wants to be a farmer. 

The ice-cream man came rolling by the park, and Beck scored a treat. Apparently it was blue.
