Fun filled fall days...

The sun finally decided to come out today. It was this afternoon and Conner and I could not get outside fast enough. By the time we were ready, Biruk was up from his nap and the three of us headed out for some Vitamin D. I swept off the driveway and the kids rode around on their tricycles. Eventually I realized I should probably mow the lawn since I have no clue how long the sun will be sticking around. Landon woke up not long after I started so I brought him out to join us. And of course while I mowed they couldn't just watch and play with their toys. They found the one muddy spot in the yard and covered their hands in mud. At one point I saw Landon taste it and I had to stop what I was doing to clean him up and get him some water. It never fails as a parent. To get one task done, you have to let them make another mess. For example, I fed them lunch the other day and headed upstairs to clean their morning mess. When I came back down Biruk had thrown his pbj (tiny pieces) all over the floor. I let them make a mess, to clean up a mess. Anyway, the yard is mowed and then when Nathan got off work we headed out on our bikes to ride on the trails and to check out a couple parks. Unfortunately I don't have any photo's but we had a great time! Came home later than we expected, grilled some dogs and brats and had a fun dinner with the boys. It was a great night and it's times like these that I don't want to forget and hopefully we'll have some more fall fun!
