Welcome!

Don't you just love this time of year? Fall is my absolute favorite time of year! I love the crispness in the air and the smell of the neighbors burning wood. The leaves turning colors and falling to the ground. (Although, I don't much like raking them!)

The girls have been outside playing all day. They enjoy the fall too and have been bringing all the colorful leaves in the house to press in a book and save.

A little while ago though, my 5 year old daughter, Mara comes running in the house. "Mommy, Mommy, I need your help I have slime all over me!" So I go over and get a wet rag thinking she had dirt or mud on her and I notice this stinky stuff up her arms. I couldn't figure out what in the world it was and I was worried. What if she got it in her mouth and it's dangerous???? So I said, "Mara, what is this stuff?" All she kept saying was, "it's slime from outside." Finally, I ask her "where exactly did the slime come from?" She looks at me and says, "from the slime tree mommy!"

You may not find this answer useful, but as soon as she said "slime tree" I realized it was sap from a tree in the yard and she wasn't in any danger from the sticky "slime" I just laughed, fall is in the air!
