Fall. Its a season between summer and winter that we just recently discovered. Having lived in California for the past 10 years, we've grown used to the dry season and the wet season. Fall is a new concept. The leaves turn many beautiful colors and they "fall" on the ground. And once they're on the ground they're are many many uses for them. If you're cold, you could burn them (well, only if its legal where you live). If you're bored, you could paint them. If you're a 21 month old, you can play in them. And boy does Claire love to play in and be covered by them. She could lay in leaf piles all day. Here she is earlier this afternoon just soaking it all in:
Today of course was Halloween, and unlike last year where she had piggy flu and couldn't walk, this year she had a ton of fun trick or treating. We started the festivities by helping our neighbors line the driveway with lights and setup a large inflatable archway.
Later we dressed in our Sunday best and headed out in search of Candy. Claire loves ducks so we figured why not have a little fun with it.
It took Claire a couple of houses to figure out how the whole candy gathering worked, but once she figured it out, she became a pro.
After we returned home, Claire had, as far as we can remember, her first Candy Bar, a Crunch Bar, and relaxed on the couch.
