Happy October!

We went hunting for materials to start making decorations for the school Fall Festival and ended up also buying a load of decorations for our house! My daughter sat and painted this sign for our door by herself with no help from me at all and I think she did a really super job.
We went for a walk in the early evening and collected leaves and acorns for an art project - not a lot to be had just yet in California but we made a fair haul!
Watch this space for that project!
October and Fall / Autumn is here. We can tell by the sun completely disappearing soon after 6pm and it bring dark when we get up. We live so close to the equator that out twilight periods are brief!
However it is also meant to be over 100 degrees F again this weekend so maybe we are not quite ready for our winter jackets yet!!
