Today was a crisp fall day...we went and picked apples at the orchard - they were quite cheap since we picked our own and it's the end of the season. Always nice! Moses stumbled, almost quite literally, on a bunny nestled in the grass. She didn't even move! Maybe she was a momma on a nest...? We unloaded some compost and coffee grounds on the garden too. We had prepared for all this outside activity by putting on our rubber boots! I love days like this! We also raided a store's 75% off costumes rack. When we came home we put the new costumes on and swapped masks, trying to make silly combinations of superpowers and names...oddly entertaining...! During Fabi's nap, Moses and I counted money. All of a sudden he wants paper money instead of coins. I got him started, but for the most part he counted out $14 in change by himself. I was pretty impressed that his attention span lasted that long. That's a lot of coins! Anyway, the day seemed to go down hill. It 'declined to an inferior state' as the dictionary says. I try not to let the end of the day spoil the best parts. I also try to think about tomorrow. One of the phrases kicked around here a lot lately is that if you fail to plan, you plan to fail. So tomorrow's plan is to start laundry right away, work out, make dinner, clean the counter and put some love into lunch! Then when everyone gets here we can eat, do a quick family photo project and make some pie during nap =) Pie always makes things better!

Retro + Grading
Retro + Grading is not equal to grading by light of a lava lamp while wearing a polyester pantsuit and listening to The Mamas and The Papas.
