11.20.14: Playing in the leaves

Auntie Kelly and Uncle Rob mailed the girls a giant box stuffed full of fall leaves.  Today we spent a good hour playing in the leaves tossing them over ourselves and each other.  Fiona, Daphne and Stella were so excited to play in the leaves.  What I did not think about is how these leaves would blow into the neighbors yard and how perhaps, they would love the leaves all over their property less than we did.

After enjoying the leaves, Daphne and Fiona decided to write the alphabet in our front yard using a rake and our rock filled yard.

Today was also special because it was the first time I have been able to volunteer at the girls school. Thanks to some business travel over the holiday, I was able to spend the entire day experiencing a typical school day for my kids.  Each morning their teacher asks 'What makes today a beautiful day?'.  Stella and Daphne both said something about me visiting while Fiona said that today was a beautiful day because 'I get to boss mama around all day'. Hmm.  It was great to meet their friends, teachers and get a taste of what kindergarten is like in 2014 - pretty different from the 80's.
