As we took our nightly walk last night, I couldn't help but notice all of the different scents that filled the air. There was the ever familiar fall smell of crackly leaves and bonfires, that Chicago-cafe smell, the plain fresh air smell and many others. I love how smells can somehow transport you back to a memory of times gone by.
Today was like August revisited. The sun was so warm and wonderful. I spent my morning making cards. It was a relaxing activity and nice to have some "me time".
The cards above are some of my favorites. We had a great table of girls and hope to get together with them for more stamping fun in the future! I even won a door prize--how cool!
The girls had fun playing outside this afternoon while I did a bit of work in the yard. Honestly, today has been pretty much a takin it easy day and I am really loving it. Normally it's work, school with Aliyah, baths for the girls, housework, projects before collapsing into bed. I think I decided to not do much today since I have this cold that I have had for about 2 weeks now. The sun definitely helps "burn" it out I think.
Aliyah has been working on some memorization for her class at church. She memorized the Lord's Prayer this week. Two funny things...Thy kingdom come, I will be done...forgive us our debts as we forgive our dinners... I love it! The other funny is that tonight when I asked Aliyah to say the Lord's Prayer, Keirah started out "our Father". She was trying to say it with Aliyah and then ended with a big A-Men at the end. It's like a 2 for 1 teaching deal =).
Lastly, here are a couple of pictures of Aliyah playing in the backyard. She insisted that I take these pics...
