A happy fall day







Today was such a beautiful fall day - seems like we have had a lot of those lately and it's been wonderful - so the kids and I walked to the park. Henry followed Emma around wherever she went as he always does but when they got to the top of the highest slide, Henry was the one who went down first. Eventually Emma decided that she didn't want to do it at all so she went back down the ladder. She is in a phase right now where she is scared of so many things that she never was before. I suppose that when children are really young they don't understand what could go wrong in a situation but as they get a little older they know they can get hurt so they get scared. Nothing wrong with that as far as I'm concerned. I have to watch Henry like a hawk because he has no fear of anything! Hopefully he will get more cautious as he gets older - but then again, he is a boy so maybe not?
While at the park Emma and I picked a ton of leaves to take back home with us. I strung them all up and hung the garland on the fireplace. I think it looks pretty good - and the best part is - it was completely free!

Emma and Henry each have their own way down...

I like the garland, really decorative against the stones. Also, I think it's great that Emma is careful when playing.
