Halloween with cousins Keya the bee and Cimi the ladybug and friend Francesca aka Frankie-stein

Since summer we have been back to school at the outdoor school, watching the leaves change color, cleaning up the garden, celebrating Halloween, reading lots of stories as usual, and just plain relaxing at home (if we ever really relax...mostly doing lots of projects). Eila is REALLY into making mud pies  and now a BIG BIG fan of potion making in the playroom bathroom. She loves mixing everything together-- especially my expensive hand soaps and lotions. She is always singing (still working on whistling) while she works and just loving life- as every 4 year old should. We have lots of catch up pictures from some birthday parties, school field trips, school Halloween parade, trick or treating with her cousins and friends, the neighborhood Halloween party, a visit to Butler's Orchard for the Fall festival, visits from Brooks and Daniela and many other things. Eila's favorite reading of late is Anna Hibiscus and the daily comics. She is delightful as usual and spunky as ever. (had a little uploading issue, so somehow the pics are a bit out of order)
