Finding Fall: With the kiddos.

We had the best time last Thursday babysitting our niece- I only wish my husband and I weren't so old. We can't keep up with the kids. We were yawning and knocking back coffee at 10:00. 

But we did have lots of fun. Bitty and I had gone to the dollar store the day before and picked out some tiny tote bags to decorate with acrylics and fabric paint. My niece made one for her American Girl doll to carry, then another with a big sparkly snowman on it. Bitty did his usual swirling expressive brushwork. 

Then, Bitty and I painted on some scraps of cardboard for my turkey centerpiece this year. 

My niece thought to make a thankful path with some foam hearts Little Bit had. Yes, Bitty is grateful for witches. 

And we finished the night with A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, cookies, and hot chocolate, because we didn't have jelly beans or pretzels to go with our toast.
