I Made Lemonade!

Well not really, but I was able to take a 'not-so-good' morning and turn it into an absolute blast. Since the weather was so nice, almost 70 degrees, I decided to take the boys for walk, which is something we never do (in the morning). Anyways, about 3/4 of a mile into it, one of the tires blew on the stroller. I obviously turned right around and had to carry the stroller like a wheel-barrel the whole way home. Believe it or not, it was actually quite difficult to do. When we finally got home I was relieved that we made it without having to call out a SOS, but was disappointed that our time outside was cut short. Plus I was hot, tired, and just overall crabby. I contemplated to stay in my bad mood, after all I'm struggling with a election day results hang-over and and am now trapped with an unusable stroller, but decided to make the best of the rest of the time before naps. Following are some of the pictures I took while my crabbiness was oozing out of me.









































I hope I remember this experience the next time I consider ruining a perfectly good day with a crabby mood!

The boys are changing so fast - they already look older and it has only been about 2 weeks.

This is why Fall is my favorite season!! Now I love it even more with your adorable boys rolling around among the leaves - too cute! Thank you for reminding me of the pleasures in small moments. It's great to see you appreciate and take the time to smell the maple leaves.
