{Fall Has Finally Arrived}

We made it to the fall!  The hot, humid summer is finally behind us and we finally have cooler weather to enjoy!  The boys have been spending so much time outdoors which means one happy mama.  Seriously, the fights subside a bit and everyone seems to have a smile on their face.  Both Ben and Luke are so much happier kids when we get to be outside, riding bikes and have good old fashioned fun!  Just look at this one's face...

Luke is so into riding his tricycle lately.  He begs to go outside and he just rides seriously all day long.  He insists on not wearing shoes though....argh.  So that is one battle that we are facing at the moment.  Because there have been a few injuries and toe stubs.  But he claims he rides soooooo much faster without shoes.  He loves riding in the front yard too because our driveway is steep and he loves to race down it...giving me a few heart attacks as well. 

I am thinking we will get him a bike with training wheels for his 4th birthday since he is so into riding.   

 

I feel like Luke has gotten so much bigger lately.  He is so tall and acts like such a big boy (most of the time).  I can't believe he will be four in just four months! 

 

 

Ben is loving the weather as well, but spends most of his days running around and playing with his wheel barrow.  Give this boy a job and he will do it!

 

 

During the middle of playtime, daddy came home from studying and we had to give him hugs!  Nothing like seeing all of my boys like this....
