Building

Since last Saturday it has been all about building around here.  The girls have always loved building with the Duplo's.  Earlier last week Grace found some small Lego's and had shown a real interest in building with them.  So much so that David took her out on a special trip just to go buy a set of small Legos all her own!  From that point on, not a day has gone by where she has not created something with them.

And today it has been all about Connectagons!  The Fairy Connectagons have definitely been a favorite since Grace recieved them as one of her Christmas gifts.  And of course, if you are going to build with fairy themed connectagons you must be dressed up as a fairy (or at the very least, a princess)!

Oh, how we love toys that allow the imagination to soar!

Dave decided to tackle the last of the leaves today.  And the moment he put the leaf blower on the girls began shrieking with joy:  "Mama! He's making a big leaf pile!  Can we play in the leaves? Please?"   Coats and hats were put back on (we had just come in from a fair that was being held in town) and out we went. 
And even though the leaves took a little longer than he had planned, it was still lovely to spend the time outside (something that we never, ever pass up the chance to do).  With the last batch of leaves dumped in the compost bin we really are ready for the winter that is ahead of us.  Soon enough there will be snow being cleared and played in, and wonderful winter memories being made.  But until then, we'll bask in the glory that is the fall and the incredible life that we get to live and experience together each and ever day!  What a gift!  It is something that I am eternally thankful for.

Go Team!

This is what happens when three best friends get together for a playdate and are waiting for lunch to be made:

"Go.....
Team!  Yay!!!"

I guess you can say that they were cheerleaders for Team Grilled Cheese! They learned 'Go Team' at yoga on Tuesday (Sports Day) and have been 'Go Team-ing' ever since!

{This Moment} - A SouleMama Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you're inspired to do the same, leave a link to your 'moment' in the comments of the SouleMama blog for all to find and see. Have a fabulous weekend, friends!

Further proof that kids don't need anything.  Have fabulous items out and let their imaginations soar!  I love watching what my girls will create out of simple things we have here at home and when they are playing outside.  You never know what they will think of next!
