Fall Leaves

Olivia and I went on a walk the other day to find "perfect" leaves. Let me tell you, beauty is certainly in the eye of the beholder when you are 4. Olivia would find a leaf that did have a pretty-ish color but might have holes in it and maybe even starting to crumble. She would pick up the leaf and exhuberantly exclaim "This is PERFECT!"

When we got home, we pressed some leaves and then the rest we hung up in the window. I know there are more creative things to do with leaves but Olivia and I both enjoyed it. It even looks a bit artistic.








Olivia took this pic! It's a new thing to be in the pictures and I am enjoying it!

    Hey! Just saw your comment re: The Bean's hair. It is kind of a twist and really not that hard to do.

    I'll see if I can think of a good way to describe it and maybe get T to take some pictures. If it works out, I'll either do a blog post or send it to you in an email.

    We are getting ready to go 'run errands'. Do you think that is code for 'go buy the bug'??? ;-)
