Get the Tape

Well, I haven't blogged much lately, because all I would have had to say would be something like this:

I got up.  I took my temp.  I ate ibuprofen.  I went to bed. 

*cough, cough*

But, I am finally on the mend. 

Today was a cool and breezy fall day.

The girls decided to get some fall exercise while I sat around and coughed.

I think flip flops are the perfect attire for raking leaves, don't you?

*cough*



Then Tiny Love, our resident connoisseur of field guides, spotted this book at the library:

Well, Tiny loves all things natural, but practical?  I don't know.  She once tried to keep some cicada shells as pets. 

*cough*

Inside the book, she zeroed in on a picture that represents two things she adores:

Bringing yard waste into the house and finding reasons to use copious amounts of Scotch tape.

So, we made our own color wheel out of leaves and taped it to a pizza box. 

Then we posed with it, which is both natural and practical.

We actually had a lot of fun looking for our leaves and getting the project ready.

Now a perfect fall day comes to a close, one that will live on in our memories, shining, unmarred...

*cough, cough, cough*

Well, almost.
