This year has been CRAZY for hurricane scares. It seems like we get through one hurricane scare, just to find out that there is another one on the way. Being inside so much has made me think to much and sometimes that is not a good thing. I tend to get a little sad when there is bad weather day after day. I remember in Logan having a hard time emotionally near the end of the Winter. I guess the gray days start to make me feel a little dreary(is that a word?) The hurricanes kind of remind me of life. You get through one trial only to find one more on the way, but in between you are blessed with moments of joy and days of sunshine. Here we have used the days of sunshine to prepare ourselves for the potential hurricanes. We have been lucky, only having some Tropical storms. However, it has already been kind of a long month for me, and I am looking forward to winter(winter here is more like fall or spring).
This is outside our back porch on a particularly rainy and windy day.
All this inside time has officially turned my kids into T.V. watchers. Yes, I know children under the age of two are not suppose to watch T.V. Well, since the days these kids were born I dreamed of the day we could all just relax and watch a movie together. That day will soon come but as for now I am happy with them making it through at least half of Sesame Street.
I know, that is pretty sad that my 18 month old knows how to use a remote.
Nathan wanted to be wrapped in a towel after playing outside in the rain. He stayed all "straight jacket like" for a long time.
This is my finished project that my cute moms wanted to see. I was working on it a little while they were in town. Painting the old curtain rod and old picture frames, as well as the old table we got when my Grandpa passed away. They wanted to see it finished and hung....so here it is. I only had to buy the black paint and the ribbon to hang the pictures. My craft projects have to be cheep these days!!
Thanks mom for helping me paint my table.
For the record, I do not let my kids watch T.V. all day. They usually only get to watch Sesame Street in the mornings. But I have to admit I am always tempted to let them watch a lot more!!
Nathan is taking care of some SERIOUS business on the way to the beach. You should hear him.....He knows how to JABBER like no one else, when he gets on the phone.
We decided to eat our food on the grass up higher than the beach area instead of on the sand. The reason being our little Daniel is notorious for dipping whatever he can find in the sand and then eating it!! He still managed to dip his fries in the sand a little later.
My goodness, I just LOVE this little guy!!
So we may not have the beautiful autumn leaves falling all around us. But for now the beach will do!!
