{gotta love fall}



***
Went to our usual pond last week to check out how the geese & ducks were doing. It was a gorgeous fall day (+28C). Wish time could have stopped during last week. Perfect weather, gorgeous scenary, no bugs... Very lovely!

Yep, swinging good time. :)
This is how most of Canada's parks are, cut grass, everything looks very neat and tidy. Sometimes there are no sidewalks along the roads but cut grass as well.

We were on our way to Costco and saw a hay bale field. Of course we had to stop and snap some pictures.

We make smoothies quite often. Bit of juice in a blender (about 150 - 200ml per person), add some frozen fruit and/or berries, let the blender do it's magic, and voila - a vitamin bomb. I freeze overripe bananas (not too overripe, we just don't like very ripe bananas) in chunks in freezer bags. They make smoothies creamier. You have to make sure the blender keeps moving the frozen chunks the whole time. If it looks like nothing's moving, you're killing the motor. Khm, I might have some experience of that. :) You can even add some veggies in there if your child is very picky with veggies. Yogurt can be added too. Ground flax seeds... I like smoothies as you still get the fiber of the fruit as well. We get the big frozen fruit mix bags from Costco and we always have straws (pilleja) handy.

Crunch, crunch. I like to leave leafs on the ground for awhile so you can have fun in them. Sienna chased bubbles until a ladybug flew too close to her and she freaked out. There are tons of ladybugs in the fall leafs, by the way. Sienna seems ok to watch them on the ground but don't fly right next to her face, please.
I've taken lots of very crooked pictures lately. It's starting to drive me nuts a bit. :)

I finished making the Hello Kitty/Sienna in Halloween costumes garland. I'll add a new Halloween picture of her each year.
