When will fall ever come??

As some of you may or may not have noticed, my blog is now fall friendly which simply means, it's fall darnit and I am going to pretend it looks just like this in my front yard even if it's really 80 degrees! Some upsides to our weather is of course the fact that you can go to the park pretty much anyday you want and try and get some great shots of your kids while they play. Above is a great action shot of Ali and McKenzie. We also managed to visit a new park in our neighborhood that I had never been to but the kids had with Doug and it was great! Although it was a great day at the park, the northwesterner in me still is holding out for those crisp fall days that allow me to bundle up and light some candles while baking cookies and having a beef stew in the crock pot. It seems like every year our summer keeps stretching out further and further!

On a completely different note. Back in July when I was visiting Micah up in Washington, I spent some time with my grandma and she was urging me to watch the documentary by Michael Moore called "Sicko". Well, watching movies right now other than anything Disney is not really a priority for me but the other night Doug and I sat down and finally watched it. I was appauled and have not been able to stop talking about it since. When the movie ended Doug looked at me and said "Ok, so which country do you want to move to?" I don't want to spend too much time on this because believe me, I could spend forever but let me just say if you haven't watched this documentary, you should. It is disturbing as an American and will definately get you thinking and probably make you very angry as it did me.
