Ticking away

...time of course. We went to the park today after we finished school. I don't usually take the girls there because it is normally loaded with children, teenagers from all over. We like more of the "laid back" empty playground to play. It wouldn't be that way if the children that are typically there were obedient and talked nicely, but that's how it is.

Today was a wonderful day to go as that dry October breeze made its way through. The leaves were flying off the trees making their own confetti. I couldn't help be sentimental while we were there as I have spent thousands of hours at that park. Why? It was my (our) summer job during the end of high school and college. Even more special, it is where Josh and I met 15 years ago. Just saying that kind of makes me feel old. Granted, we didn't start dating until we had worked together for 5 summers. So, I snapped a few photographs today of where it all began. Three little girls later, it was a nice visit. Oh yeah, and I can't forget, we got engaged there as well.

I'm trying to get various things accomplished at home before going back to work. I am happy at the large amount of progress made!! It's not that I cannot accomplish anything at home because I work, but I'm still getting used to having a 3rd child--a newborn and doing homeschooling and everything else. Today, it occurred to me that it would be nice to have fall pictures taken before the beauty of the leaves on the trees is gone. We are trying to squeeze that in on Friday afternoon. Got the car taken in for service yesterday--check. I'm trying to get yoga in every night (or almost). Last night, I was exhausted and did not. This is a 6 week program. I'm GONNA DO IT! The closets have all been cleaned out and organized, and the basement has been purged of what I can purge it of now, the blinds have been cleaned, and a host of other things that I won't bore anyone with.

Well, the girls want to ride bikes, Noelliah needs fed, and we need to go on our walk...all before it gets dark.
