Dancing and Daisy chains
Poor big one got bitten by a jumping jack ant picking cape weed daisies when we were creating these delights, they really sting. A bracelet for the middle one and a daisy wreath for the little one. Then she danced and danced like a fairy. Slow holiday camping pleasures.
September Celebration
We had the longest, hottest, nastiest summer ever this year.  It was just endless.  But September?  It has been the perfect month.  We have had an entire month of sunny skies and temperatures in the 70's and low 80's.  It just doesn't get any better!  So to celebrate the last day of a gorgeous month we stopped by our local carry-out-only hamburger joint and took a picnic to the park.
And then we just played.
Well, played and struck cheesy poses for the camera.
And Mom didn't enforce the usual school rules, so going down the slide head-first was acceptable. And way more fun.
Rachel the Determined (or Rachel the Daredevil) insisted on going up the 7 foot tall climbing wall by herself. And did.
Eventually things got kind of silly, with lots of giggling and sitting on each other.
But it was the perfect way to end a beautiful month. Goodbye, September!

Joining Soulemama's {this moment} - A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

Michaelmas
Michaelmas is a festival that marks the turning of the seasons for us as well as it is a celebration of strength, goodness and courage. Inspired by Christiane Kutiks Jahreszeitenbuch we made a large bread decorated with a sword representing the story of Michael and his fight against the dragon.
