Prompted by nature or not??

These past three weeks have been very busy with the home renovation and all. Most all complete other than figuring out what to do with all the stuff we accumulate.

I have been taking advantage of the Autumn weather with the kids as much as I have had oportunity to do so, including pre-lunch visits to hear the H.. Marching band then stop by the park to swing, slide and crawl in the wood chips.

E and I had a grand old time Sunday in a leaf pile M, E and Gma started in the front yard. It was classic stuff like you'd see on a well put together TV commercial. I was tossing E in the air and gently letting her fall to the middle of the pile, then that got old for her so she screamed for me to throw her into the trees. She really likes that thrill.

Back to this TV commercial thing, I find it funny and maybe a bit sad, but I often have an image in mind of how something is supposed to look or how a situation is supposed to unfold. I don't know if you can knock them but the ad people sometimes get a feeling just right and that is what I am sure they get paid big dollars for.

Regardless of where my idea of a fun time with E came from, that half hour in the yard, though tiring, was a picture perfect moment of how Autumn is supposed to be.
