Claire doesn't nap anymore, so on non-school days when she is with me, I have to keep her busy. This day she picked up all the sticks in the yard, put away my flowers for winter, picked the raspberries (and ate them all), and picked beautiful leaves. Some were for GG (they pressed them in a book), some were for Omi's kitchen, some were for Omi & Papa's bedroom (her choice), and some were for a basket of fall goodies for their new front porch. Have you ever picked leaves? You just can't stop yourself. One is more beautiful than the next. Claire found this out. She just couldn't stop. She especially loved the red ones and the rare pink ones.
Here's the basket for their porch. Indian corn, broom corn, an empty bird's nest and the gorgeous leaves with some raffia bows.
Painting with real paint. Ninja turtles - what could be better! Shirtless, cuz I wasn't sure if he'd miss!
Decided to try an apron instead of no shirt. He does really well. Mara has to be sleeping, I'm not brave enough yet to have her paint!
