fall or winter?

Yesterday was definitely fall. Leaves are on the ground, it was cool, overcast, and it just felt fall-like all day. I was also getting a cold. You know fall's here if I have a cold. Today it's here full in full force.

But that's not what I wanted to write about.... I saw sidewalk chalk on clearance and wanted to replace Rachel's, since it's almost gone, so I got some yesterday while I was at the grocery. She was with me, so she knew all about it and couldn't wait to use it. As soon as we got home she asked to use it.

So here she is doing one of her favorite things, coloring--usually not a fall activity, but I'm sure she'll be trying to do it in the winter, too!

It took several shots to finally get her to stop and smile for the camera, but here's the result.

So this morning Fed Ex delivered this hat and mitten set I had ordered on clearance from LL Bean. She saw me open it and immediately wanted to wear it to "pway in snow!" I kept telling her that there wasn't any snow, but she wouldn't let it go, and really thought there was. All morning she kept talking about wearing her "gwubs" (gloves) to go play in the snow and make a snowman. I finally let her put them on, but instead of playing in the snow she decided to play the piano.
