Sunny Days

Last week we had a heat wave....

Kara got dressed up in a cute summer outfit and we went outside to enjoy the sun!

I couldn't resist the side ponytail. :)

She thought pulling the grass out of the ground was fun...


Eating the grass crossed her mind....



....and eventually, she did take a bite. ewww!


It did not taste good at all....silly girl!



My absolute favorite...

Strike A Pose, baby girl!

The cold and rainy days have since return and we sit in the house dreaming of the sunny days again! Ahhhh, please come soon SUMMER!

Happy October!

Is it really OCTOBER...already?! We all know what this means....summer is definitely gone and winter is just around the corner. Boo. I am not a fan of all the cold days and early nights that fall/winter bring. BUT on a sunny note, this season brings lots of birthdays (on my side of the family and friends including mine and Ryan!), Halloween, Thanksgiving and my favorite time of the year CHRISTMAS! Yay! I just LOVE LOVE this holiday....it seems all the world is happy even if it is for short period of time. So I will try to concentrate on the happy things and hopefully the days will fly by without me noticing how cold or dark it is outside.

As promised last week (I must say I am "a little" disappointed in the small response of comments...come on...games are FUN! play along next time people!! pretty please...haha), here is the winner of the Caption Fun game.

CHRISTY D'ANGELO

Christy came up with the funniest caption ever. Her prize? Being recognized on the best blog ever created...that's right-
The High Family blog! :) Way to go, Christy!!
If you get a chance, please stop by her blog (click here) and leave her a congratulations comment. I am sure it will put a smile on her face and brighten her day!

Signs of Fall

Already? Signs of Fall? That's what we saw on our walk last evening. We also saw signs of fall last week while up at the lake (a post coming soon!). The leaves were already starting to change color and fall to the ground. While I love the feel of fall weather, I wish the days wouldn't start to get shorter. Soon we will have to do our walks in the early morning or very early evenings.

Ryan spotted a lonely pumpkin in a small patch.
Do you see the yellow leaves?
Blowing dandelions is fun!


A Fall Song
by Ellen Robena Field

Golden and red trees
Nod to the soft breeze,
As it whispers, "Winter is near;"
And the brown nuts fall
At the wind's loud call,
For this is the Fall of the year.

Good-by, sweet flowers!
Through bright Summer hours
You have filled our hearts with cheer
We shall miss you so,
And yet you must go,
For this is the Fall of the year.

Now the days grow cold,
As the year grows old,
And the meadows are brown and sere;
Brave robin redbreast
Has gone from his nest,
For this is the Fall of the year.

I do softly pray
At the close of day,
That the little children, so dear,
May as purely grow
As the fleecy snow
That follows the Fall of the year.
