Since I have landed on Planet Blog (I just named it that myself), I have learned many, many things. Things that I never even thought could possibly exist in the realm of people’s daily lives. It’s quite amazing, I tell you what! Well, with that, one of the things I have noticed and learned is what they’re calling “Wordless Wednesday.” From what I can tell, alliteration is very popular – that’s cool, because I always appreciate alliteration! Wordless Wednesday seems to be when people post photos on their site without any captions to go along beside them (or under them). I hope I am right about this, by the way! Well, since today is not Wednesday, but I have quite a large number of photos down there that maybe don’t need captions, I will be so bold as to announce today as Muted Monday! Merry Muted Monday, everyone!

But, before I just let you loose on the viewing, why don’t I at least have the decency to give you a little back ground of what we were up to when these photos were taken! You see, my children have taken a liking to bouncing off the walls inside my house. This makes me fear for the long, cold winter months ahead. They run from wall to wall and back again making zooming, crashing, honking, swooshing sounds. They throw stuffed animals and cars down from the top of the stairs into the family room. They squeal. They yell. They laugh. They jump off the couch and back on again. They chase each other through the kitchen, into the dining room, through the living room-only to do it again and again! And again….

With the nice weather (cool and windy, but nice) yesterday, I told Chris we must take them up to the park in The Black Forest – a very hilly, spacious area with trees and ponds and, well, lots of nature. We would let them run free, until they could run no more! That is what we took pictures of. Please enjoy!

Whew! What a big day! Let’s do it again next weekend!
