Welcome Autumn!

So the "Grandpa and Grandma" fieldtrip adventure is now complete.  Clara's time consisted of harvesting chestnuts (learning how to get to the nut through the spiny shell but using her feet to open the shell...the demonstration was fabulous), working on and completing a 500-piece puzzle with Grandpa Roger, making a tree identification book, learning about poison ivy and squirrels' favorite nuts, and "mini dipping" (which I just can't describe right now), and much more.  Brother and sister were sure happy to pick her up and get to play with Grandpa and Grandma a little bit as well.

Our day of friends and activities was today, our Social Wednesday.  Simon is excited to have a new friend to run with at Day Camp and doesn't seem to be bothered by eating a different snack than everyone else.  Apparently, he actually yelled out "hummus...yum!"  Clara is thoroughly enjoying being in the play at ShakeRag and insisted on reading through her script twice at the park and each page 10 times at home tonight.

We finished off this 1st day of Autumn with a bonfire in the backyard where we poked the fire, worried about Simon and Ruthie falling in, discussed what would happen if they would, were able to relax for a little bit while listening to the chicks cuddle up and end their peeping for the night.
Welcome Autumn.  We're ready to explore all that you have to offer.
