Fall fun

I think this week is the peak of the fall colors here. We're trying to get out and enjoy it as much as possible.





This is pretty much unposed. They wanted to do a lying-down-in-the-leaves photo, so Raia plopped down. Asya instantly tripped and fell on her. Jaan joined them, and I snapped a candid shot of the whole pile.

...then Asya had to add in a random kitty who came to see what the fun was about.

We've also had a lot of rainy indoor time lately. One morning while we were out, we collected a bunch of acorns. Raia and I had made a little wreath with acorns earlier, and we wanted to do more.


I sent Will out to get a few ribbons for our wreath and the ones we were planning. Well, the flower/gift/interior design store where I've gotten ribbon before wouldn't sell them separately to Will, so instead of ribbons, he came back with this:

And that set our creative processes going! Even Jaan got involved.


The finished product hangs in our big room, right over the table:

It was really hard to get a good photo of it, but this gives the general idea.

I absolutely LOVE this! My son has collected so many acorns (and can never resist picking up more) and this is a great idea on what to do with some of them.
