Autumn Happiness

Lately my days have been filled with pleasant things too small to blog about but worth remembering.  For example..

-Raking leaf piles on the playground during recess 

-Reading picture books aloud to two younger-than-school-age kids while their mother tutors math at school

-Reading The Giver aloud with K., drinking caramel apple cider and talking about Distopian/Utopian literature

-Going running with K in the afternoon, getting exercise and sunshine while we talk about language arts, social studies, and science
