Faith has been loving learning about the colors of Fall. As we drive to school she says, "Mommy, soon the leaves will change colors, right?" Yes, peanut, they will be beautiful. She loves art, especially painting. This weekend we found some acrylic paints left over from my Fall sign paintings and then she found a nice wall brush to paint with. We found some red, brown, orange and straw colors and mixed them up for three nice pictures. Using silk leaves we painted over them and was left with a white print of the leaf. Then she took her hands and placed them in her red mixture for some hand prints along with some star stamps and leaf prints. Last she took all her colors and made a beautiful picture by mixing them all together for a rust color. She painted for almost 30 minutes and still wasn't done. Had I had more paint she would have painted all afternoon.

Darling! :)
Tell her that Aunt Forte, Uncle Carl and Grace LOVE Fall as well! One of our favorite things to do is go get the pumpkin.
