A Fall Day
















I don't really know how to put pictures throughout my text and I don't have enough time right now to figure it out. :) So here's a brief description of my day: I needed some fun time with Lily today. It's been a rainy week so far but the sun broke through so we headed out to play in the leaves. I tried to get her to lay down with me in the leaves, but she thought I was silly. I loved watching the leaves falling off the trees and blow through the air. I could have laid there all afternoon. It was simply gorgeous!
We each took a square of clear contact paper and stuck nature treasures on it. It was very windy so we ended up with pieces of debris attatched as well, but it was fun. I think I enjoyed it more than her. :) We taped them to our front door so we can see the sun shine through.

She asked me if we could have a "pickwick" (translation: picnic), so we ate lunch on our porch. She jumped up and down and said, "Pickwick, I so excited!" You gotta love the enthusiasm of a 2 year old. :) Then we made brownies and read books until nap time. It was lovely morning.

So, now I need to do laundry, vacuuming, and the such, but it sure was fun to play for awhile.
