What a great Sunday afternoon

I guess having been down from surgery for the past few days has kinda gotten me in a bit of a funk.  I'm a busy body, I like to be doing things, I like to be on the go when possible.  Bless my husband, he knows this, so he took us hiking Sunday.  Yeah, hiking 5 days after surgery probably wasn't the smartest thing.  I mean it isn't like I climbed Mt. Everest, we just walked around Comlara Lake.  Even though we walked at Kat's pace, as Miss. Independent felt she should be able to walk and not be carried, I still paid for it last night.

The colors were so beautiful.  Kat was having so much fun playing with the brightly colored leaves.  The boys had a blast just running up and down the trails with the dog and hiding from each other.  It was fun to just be out enjoying God's creation.  He really has created a beautiful world.  Every time I start getting down all I need to do is look outside and look at the beauty He created all around us, it truly is incredible.

When we finished hiking we came home and carved pumpkins.  The kids really had a good time carving pumpkins.  Andy wasn't thrilled as he is allergic to pumpkins.  We usually get field pumpkins from a friend of dad's, but this year we didn't and bought them from the Jewel Osco.  Field pumpkins have way more guts than the store bought kind.  Made for a much better outcome on Andy's poor hands.  Tannin did feel cheated, he was expecting way more guts and was kind of sad.
