It seems that every other day is rainy this month, but when it's not raining we're trying to be outside. The days of fall always seem like they go by in a blink unless we purpose to savor each one. Our walks are fewer now but so very pretty. The kids have been playing almost daily with the neighbors as they all converge in our backyard after school for hours at a time.
And when it's just the three of us out here, I love watching Evan and Chloe 'being horses' together, practicing riding the next-size-up bikes, or playing in car city. Evan has also been experimenting with his sling shot trying pine cones, acorns, clumps of grass, tree bark.... Acorns are his favorite, especially when they bounce off the stop signs.
We've done our best to stay positive this month with all the halloween yuk being displayed; it's our goal to look away and find something beautiful instead for our hearts to focus on. (This is harder than ever with our next door neighbor's haunted graveyard display complete with murderous evil skeletons and such right beside our driveway.)
The kids are counting the days till we can get to the pumpkin farm and to the last day of the month when we make the year's first pumpkin pie. Fall really is our favorite time of year, even though it's short.
