This day I love.......

I love Autumn.  The colours are truly fantastic and Autumn sun, yes its a rarity,  is so lovely.  I love to be outdoors in the Autumn sun and love to play outside with the girls.  We ventured outside to have some fun with the leaves.  Living with woods in the back garden means we have a lot of leaves.  

We first decided to make leaf pies.  Think Mud pies but with leaves.

It was not too long before the girls decided they wanted to make Mud pies so this then followed

After exploring the different textures of the leaves to the mud and seeing how they formed different 'pies' we decided to explore the Autumn garden.  We saw how the berries have changed colour

We talked about the different colours and looked to see what else we could find.  I had not seen any ladybirds this year, so imagine my surprise when we saw this

There were loads of ladybirds and several baby ladybirds too.  I was so surprised and incredibly happy.  I had to get the girls not to touch them, but we sat and watched them for a while.  It was a really lovely day exploring our garden and having fun in the Autumn sun

This day I love Autumn fun.

I have now started my training for the Yorkshire 3 Peaks challenge.  Yesterday I completed a 2 hour walk and today a 45 minute, both with children and dog.  I figure pushing the pushchair and walking a dog too has got to help with fitness.  

Today's walk was only through our local village but still its getting out in the fresh air.  We passed by the bakery and so I stopped to get the girls a cookie as they had been really well behaved.  My eldest quickly turned the cookie into crumbs as she pulled out each of the smarties on it, my youngest however spent ages working out how to get the smarties off

I loved the concentration she gave to each one, and that she ended up with a coloured nose from trying to remove the smarties

We had the tree surgeon out this afternoon as one of the trees has a large crack in it and we wanted to make it safe for the girls.  Last thing I want is a large branch falling on them.  My eldest sat and watched him work and would not move from her watching post

I had planned to do some craft with her but she wanted to stay and watch.  

This did mean that I could get dinner ready, my youngest seemed to love dinner we had pie.  I think her face says it all

It was in her hair, ears and all down her vest.  She had loads of fun!
