Summer days may be well behind us but that does not mean it's time to pack in the outdoor activities just yet. Crisp fall days are here and they are perfect to throw in a hoodie or a sweater and embark on some family fun. During fall the world becomes a natural playground. There are leaves for jumping in, apples & pumpkins for picking and hay bales for climbing. All the leaves are changing colors from green to yellow, orange, red and brown. Trees that were wrapped in a green blanket of leaves are slowly shedding all their leaves. The streets are full of yellow and red leaves and we wake up everyday to a foggy fall morning.
We enjoy fall as much as we enjoyed summers. Last week we even planted bulbs for spring. We cuddle up under a big cozy blanket to read books :) We go on a nature walk to get to know the fall foliage a little better. Anvesha enjoys leaf jumping, where she jumps into a huge pile of freshly raked leaves. She picks a handful of leaves and throws them in the air. Rainy days are back again, but this does not stop us from going out. As kids we never bypassed those rainy day puddles without jumping on them and Anvesha does the same thing !!! Kids can derive so much pleasure in these little things. Simple pleasures of life that come for free :) I am just fortunate to be with Anvesha in these growing years of her life and witness her smiles first hand.
Anvesha has been doing a lot of fall craft activities like learning about the anatomy of a pumpkin, doing painting with a pumpkin and lerning about the life cycle of a pumpkin. I guess the month of October is dedicated to pumpkins !!!!! Wow.... pumpkins must be feeling on top of the world these days ;)
Fall also means Halloween !!! We are looking forward to it as we will be going out to say "Hi" to our neighbors for the " trick or treat" and there will be a post from my side dedicated especially for Halloween.
Till then wishing everyone a very Happy Fall !!!!!
