Fun in the Fall

We have been loving hints of fall weather lately and even take our homework and coloring outside. One of the best finds of the last few months were these "Doodle Books" I found on the discount book rack at TJ Maxx. The kids have the "Girls' Doodle Book" and the "Boys' Doodle Book". The book has parts of a picture and a suggestion for what to draw. My children are a little young to fully appreciate and use the book but they have LOVED them. We even got one for cousin Thomas.

Another thing we have been crazy about has been silly bands. Those bracelets on Lucy's arm are silly bands and she loves them. She doesn't interact with anyone else daily - except brother - that will trade with her so she gave me some silly bands so that I can trade with her. Both of them LOVE their silly bands. I guess it's better than the garbage pail kid cards I was into for a summer in 4th grade.
