Hello Fall!

We are so thankful for cooler weather!  We are close to breaking the record of most days over 90 degrees - ever in Arkansas.  With this change in weather brought our first round of fall sickness for Josh and I, and I think the girls somewhat too.  By Sunday, I needed to find something for the girls to do that didn't involve too much energy from me.  So, we headed to the park.  The girls play on the playground twice a day at school, at their profiency in jungle gym skills showed!  They climbed right up

And stood before the slide with confidence

And slid down the slide like they know what they're doing!


However, they do not like dirt on their hands!  We are working on how to get it off without running to mom every time

I have been trying to figure out the mechanisms of my camera, starting with blurring the background:

I can't believe their cuteness - even with their pouty face!
