Pre-Celebration OR Picture Overload

We (well, ME mostly,) are thrilled that it is no longer summer.
But fall doesn't officially start 'til Tuesday, I believe.
IT'S MY FAVORITE TIME OF YEAR
AND
I
LOVE
IT!!!


My kids are also enthusiastic, but I imagine the weather has much less to do with it, especially when compared to the swings!


Melanie just LOVES swinging! If I were to push her the entire time we stayed at the park, I imagine that she'd never ask to get out!

"Push me higher, Mommy!"

"Push me higher, please."
"Please."


Nathan never likes to be left out of something fun! (Who does?)

"Watch out, Mommy!"

"Don't kick me!"

"Oh! I almost kicked you, Mommy!"

Because I knew Matthew would have a tantrum if I didn't let him have a turn, he actually went first.
(Yup, I know that's terrible. But so is he.)

"Would you like a push Matthew?"

"No!"

He was quite happy to just sit and hang on to the swing...
until I took too many pictures.
"Want to go down, Matthew?"
"Dow!"
