hello october

october calendar by nikki mcclureThere was much excitement as we turned the page on our calendars today.  The girls are vibrating as they repeat “27 days until our birthday!” and then, of course, there is the Halloween buzz too.  I love this time of year, when the leaves start to change colours and we pull out our long ignored sweaters and toed shoes.  The crispness in the air is often balanced with the heat from a sun with reminders of the summer we so enjoyed. We are settling into this new season gently with promises of cozy crafting and story time by the fire.  Nikki McClure‘s October calendar page is just so perfect as we love going to the beach to catch the golden sunshine at this time of year…..and one of our favourite things to do is make mermaid fairy houses while we are there! Setting autumn leaf boats afloat is such fun too.   Tell me, how do you most like to play during this magic season?
