leaves and friends … and a bunch of fun clumped into one post!~

with all the sea grape, banyan, orange, lemon, and oak leaves falling over our garden we take advantage of the mess! since our girls were babies we have totally kept them in nature… always playing outside… hiding in our ferns, climbing trees… it seems so clear to them that leaves come from trees… but why do they fall… oh it’s so much fun to explain this to a preschooler….. what a better way to explain leaves but to rub them and see all of the little veins…. it makes the learning part so fun!

we were so happy to have some good friends visit us the other day… our midwife with our oldest Isabelle was in town from Sweden! When we visit Sweden every summer we usually go hiking in their forest and have a nice visit… our girls have gotten to know each other and it was so exciting to have them visit for the morning!
