fall masterpiece

yesterday we took a fall walk. we took our paper bag outside into the backyard, and began crunching leaves under our feet. you chose different leaves you liked and threw them in the bag. you found a peach colored rose that you insisted I cut with your scrapbooking scissors and put it into your bag. you also pulled some flowers from the bougainvillea bush and added those. we walked on the side of the house and you chose a few rocks and berries...those went into the bag as well, along with a couple of sticks.

then we went inside the house and agreed that it was the right time to make our "fall masterpiece." you first took out the rose and took off each petal and carefully glued them to your paper canvas. you then picked out a few other items to add to your masterpiece. but then the glue stick became much more fascinating than anything else and you glued a rose petal to your cheek! quite a different creation than I had imagined, but fun and cute all the same.

thank you for the sweet memory.
