Autumn

Autumn in our house means apple picking and the jail game at Grandma and Papa's. We've done both of these since Sarah was 3, and as soon as the weather gets a bit cooler, she starts asking when we're going up there. We did not get to play the jail game last weekend, because there weren't enough leaves down yet, so explanation of that will come later. We did, however, go apple picking at Quarry Hill farm. What a great time! Another perennial favorite is throwing pumpkins to the cows and watching them try to break them open. What a riot!

The most blog worthy event of the weekend, though, concerns Sarah. As most people who know us are aware, she is an extremely jealous child. She is also quite concerned that everything is "even" between the two of them. Well, she decided that she was jealous of Danny's imaginary friend, Sandy. She didn't think it was "fair" that he always had someone to play with. So, she made up her own friend, named "Sis" but it's pronounced Sid. (She couldn't find a D in the magnetic letters) So she carried around the letters "Sis" for a day, talking to them. What a goof!!!
