fresh air

the air in shreveport smells fresh lately. i like it. it is cool and breezy. sunny and bright. it makes me happy. i can breathe ever so deep and feel autumn. i never liked fall as much as i do now (with kids). halloween and thanksgiving inspired days, filled with gathering pumpkins, making ghosts and goblins out of tissues, strolling through playgrounds, and running to starbucks for kids hot chocolates. mostly whipped cream.

can you tell i had a great day. this is a taste of what we did- just me and the kids (reza is taking the oral boards! big deal- wish him luck!)

-fall walk

-gathered worms and roly polies

-cut the yard

-purchased too-cool glow in the dark skeleton pj's which were worn all day!

-ate grilled cheese with pickles at julianne's bakery

-played in the gardens and streams at norton's art gallery

-made sand pancakes and sand pies

-took a trip to the local outdoor store

-ate cheese pizza and drank pumpkin beer at pieworks (only one of us had beer)

-bathed

-night night

shreveport's not all bad. any takers? we have room...
