A Faery good time

On a beautiful fall day, the boy and I took the girl to see some fairy dwellings at a local park. Although we were a little disappointed with the amount of fairy homes, we still had fun with our cranky toddler. Of course, you would never guess it from these photos though.
There is something magical about the woods on a beautiful day....so many tiny treasures to find and explore. And the faeries? Well, no, they weren't home...they were having a faery harvest party, all together in the woods. If you listen closely, you can hear their whispers and giggles....

I love how this boy loves my girl. It makes moments like these even more magical...




I know, I know...I forgot my polarizing filter, and was cringing as I took some of these photos. But the end results are magical to me. I am loving the artifact, and believe I see some faeries fluttering past....don't you?

Doin' it right....

This year, a flame has been ignited. Because Avonlea is finally old enough to understand this amazing time of year....and she is just as excited as we are for this change of seasons.
Don't get me wrong...summer was magnificent...but Autumn is my favorite. There is something about Fall that just reminds me of new beginnings, despite the fact that the greens are fading to brown. I remember how excited for school we would get, especially my best friend and me. To this day, I still do "back-to-school-shopping" and believe it's permanently engrained into my soul.
Avonlea has been ridiculously excited for Halloween this year, and it has brought back all of those childhood feelings for me. So the house is decorated to the nines, we talk about the changing of the seasons every day, monitor the falling leaves, and squeal when we talk about Halloween.
We are relishing cozy sweaters, warm new blankets, and roasted squash and pumpkins....
We are doin' it right....






ps. yay for collage apps!!!! :)

happy fall!
