Autumn means the rainy season in these parts.  Thus begins the yearly search for the perfect rain boots for the girls.  I found these on Ebay last week.  They are from Korea and were on sale for $10 with free shipping(!)  Korean designs are so cute!  I love this smart use of gingham fabric stretched under the waterproof rubber.  Why didn’t I think of that when I was designing shoes?

We started fall off with apple picking and antique shops this weekend.  Chris found this giant pumpkin at Sun High Orchards after we picked 20 pounds (!) of apples.  I am excited to perfect a maple apple jam recipe with them this week.  The girls went on their first pony rides at the farm and Josie did not want to share her pony with any of the other kids waiting in line.  I scored a pair of vintage juice glasses decorated with fall leaves (for $.99 each !).  Ada found this crown at the last antique shop and decided it could live on the pumpkin when not on her own head.  There is officially a chill in the air today.  Welcome Autumn!

Flower, made by Ada from bouncy balls.

Sleeping Dolls. Gram brought these dolls from Spain. Ada made them beds from hankies after carefully removing their shoes.

It is the last weekend before school starts for Ada. She goes for a longer day this year. I am looking forward to some time alone with Josie. We are planning to make more trips into the city this year. I used to take Ada to museums a lot when it was just the two of us. Josie is often under the shadow of her energetic big sister. I am excited to see how she does with a lot of solo Mama time…But I know we will both be looking forward to picking up our Ada from school at the end of the day.

How are you changing your routine for fall?
