Yesterday was a beautiful fall day. It was chilly enough to wear jeans and a sweater which is my favorite thing to wear. The sun seemed to light up the leaves and our backyard was calling to me... and so was my son. He wanted to rake up a big pile of leaves and jump in them. It seemed like a great idea to me. Gone were the thoughts that I should be baking for the company coming the next day, gone were the thoughts that I should quick throw in another load of laundry or finish tidying up the kitchen mess from lunch. Nature and my son were calling to me. We raked up a big pile of leaves, took several steps back and then locked hands as we ran as fast as we could into the leaf pile. Being a kid is great. Acting like a kid once in a while is the next best thing!

Hey Jess-
I'm so sorry we missed each other over the weekend, I guess we have to put our kids first now that we are "Mothers". We'll have to get together soon, my boys "hate" me right now cause they wanna go to "Jake's" house. I wonder how many "Times" I can use the "quotes" in this "message"??? I'm a dork, catch you later, who loves ya baby? :)
