Rain Clouds To Sunshine

Jacob got off work early last Thursday so we could go watch Nathan play football.
It was a cold and rainy day. It wasn't raining when we first got there but about five minutes later it got windy and it began to pour in buckets. We sought shelter next to a storage shed. I felt bad for Nathan because it was cold and rainy. I asked him after the game if he was cold and he said no. Well, that's good then.

Once it stopped raining we hung out by the fence. Riley began to pounce on puddles and also kept busy by throwing rocks down the storm drains.

I watched him run around, calling out not to go too far ... always keeping my eye on him. He was running pretty fast and although I did tell him to be careful he slipped on a storm drain and hit his forehead on the concrete. I saw it happen and told Jacob.

He went over to him and saw that Riley had scraped his forehead. He cried a bit but we reassured him that he would be fine and gave him a kiss. After a couple of minutes he stopped crying but he no longer felt like running, lol. So since it was cold we waited in my truck until the game ended. Jacob let Riley play a game on his phone. That took his mind off his boo boo for a while.

The day after was the opposite of the day before. Even though it was chilly the sun was out full blast. So in order to get our daily dose of vitamin D we pulled weeds in the backyard.
This little guy saw that it was too bright and went back inside to grab his sunglasses. He was being silly so I snapped a few pictures.

I detest anything that's slimy and slithers so whenever I would pull a weed out Riley was right next to me to see if there were any worms or slugs. They gross me out so much you don't even know {but I'm not afraid of them}.

Made a quick stop at Trader Joe's. We had gotten their flyer in the mail and saw all their pumpkin yummies and it made me want to go get a few. I still haven't had a pumpkin bagel but Jacob said that they are really good, so is the pumpkin butter. I did have a sconce and it was decent.

We're definitely enjoying all this crisp Fall weather. It makes me very happy. And one can't help but to have a constant supply of sweets on hand.
