Marathon

What else do you do in Akron on a late Sept. , Saturday morning? You run a marathon. Not me, but Rich's sister ran it. Beat her time in Cleveland too! The kids ran the Fun Run which is a mile and it's free for them. We chose to keep Logan at home for this. Just didn't think we could handle chasing him all over the place with so many people. Guess we made a good choice, Rich said there were so many people down there, he was glad he didn't have Logan with him. Of course I gave him the option to take Logan with him and I stay home....that didn't happen!

Olivia said she didn't like it, but I think she kind of did. She's not a runner, nor is her mother!

This is Melinda, about to be finished, I believe. At least she still is smiling!!

Fall

This was in my driveway. That Olivia, very artistic!

My little boy has figured out how to steer and drive this Hummer. Now for some reason the steering has always been tight in it, so it's taken some time to get the muscles to turn the wheel. But all said, he's actually a very good driver like Olivia. It can be scary at times.

Fall is just literally around the corner. I have to say as time goes on, I'm beginning to be a huge Fall fan. Before I just didn't care b/c of the next season coming and it hangs on forever no matter what the calendar says. I do love Fall alot though. I love getting the Fall scented candles out and starting to burn them! It's not so hot outside, you can't be outside to play. It's just really nice!! Of course I say that and it hasn't been cold yet or rainy alot, so we will see.

School is going great for both kids. Olivia's biggest ordeal is what she's going to be for Halloween. Logan's is if he's going to ride the bus today! So far, so good!

Olivia and her creativity. When that girl gets an idea, she just runs with it. She got those little pizza tables (that's what we call them that come in the middle of your pizza) and decided she needed to make a setting out of clay. They needed a little help staying up so they got a boost with a pencil sharpener.

I saw these birds having a field day outside the kids' bedroom window and snuck up on them and realized they must have been eating the seeds. There were a ton of them at one time but i scared some trying to get the window open further. Can you spot the birds? They are well hidden!
