Over the weekend and into Monday...

..we celebrated eleven birthdays between my family and Jeff's.

....our youngest turned four. FOUR! How? He was just born.

...we ate too much sugar.

......the weather was perfectly fall-y! Moody skies.Chilly temperatures.Sparkly sunshine.
We had it all...and it was lovely.

...we practiced handwriting.
{..because by golly it's important! No matter the tech age we live in.}

....chicken dumpling soup was dinner.

...our maple tree out front is orange and yellow.

.....the girls made pumpkin pie lip balm. It smells good enough to eat.

...the last of our garden..herbs and flowers..have been cut and clipped and picked and dried.

.....a fire has been crackling in our wood stove.

Happy new week to you.
