Sweaty

Remember those days as a child where it was getting dark and you came inside all sweaty. Hair was stuck to your cheeks in spots, and you didn't feel hot until you came inside? Well, today is one of those days. Kids are a great way to enjoy a fun workout. We went on a walk and the mosquitos were bad tonight. Once we arrived home, Aliyah went straight to her swing. I decided to get a little cardio in...a.k.a. the trampoline. I hadn't been in there for 30 seconds when two little ones joined in the fun. There was a lot of laughing and squealing. Not only did I get to jump, but run circles around in the trampoline. Now, I need all the work-out I can get, although I need something to work the mid-section. My legs oughta be in superb shape with all the walking and jumping. The legs aren't the problem area really. I guess I'll have to break out my Pilates DVD's again when the energetic monkeys are in bed.

I also realized that today was the first day of fall--although the weather still feels like summer, lucky for me. Aliyah enjoyed talking about leaves and birds on our walk and declared herself to be "science girl". I have to agree on that one. She loves and is quite the expert on many things relating to animals and the outdoors. She knows stuff that Josh and I never learned.

I took some pics yesterday on the last day of summer. The girls are enjoying the trampoline, and the other is off my asters. Asters (for those of you not familiar) are common in the fall like mums. They are typically purple as pictured here or a deep pink color. This is the largest my asters have ever grown. Many who came to my garage sale inquired as to what it was and how beautiful they are this year. The first picture is of a mum that I purchased at the apple orchard last week. I liked it because it had a unique color. Yes, Keirah is only wearing a diaper on the trampoline, don't worry that didn't last long.
