Josh is learning his animals from the books we have been reading. Horses are neigh, neigh, dogs are bowwows, cats are usually Boots or meow, tigers are "ROAR". It is so cute how he identifies the sounds first. Its like how when he sees cars he is saying "vroom, beep, beep!" . He is such a monkey. His favorite thing is calling his sisters for meals. As soon as I tell him his dinner is ready, he runs to the stairs and calls "mimi, lana!", as he calls them.
It feels like autumn. Technically there are 3 weeks of summer left, but the cool weather has already set in and the leaves are turning. It is still hot and summery back home, I miss Ontario. However, I am ready for fall, for school to start, get into my busy routine. We were so busy in July, August has felt dull, just the kids sports. I pulled out 8 ember(pumpkin)scented pillar candles and a few fall themed accessories today, the modern glazed pier 1 pumpkins and the rustic branches tucked into my wrought iron candelabra. I still love that thing and I've had it for so many years. I put a cinnamon spice reed diffuser in the living room-the whole main floor is scented from it. I have decided I like those things, even though I am still loyal to candles and my oil burners. I am deciding what to do with the front entrance, I think I have decided, something with some height in the iron urn. I want to keep it simple and rustic. It is easy to overdo it!
I felt well enough to run today, also went for a walk. Didn't bake as we still are working on the gingerbread. It is a pudding like cake, very English dessert. I am making split pea soup tommorrow, the weather warrants it for sure. It is a recipe the kids enjoy too, very high fibre! I put beach photos in the photo gallery type frame. It looks good. We are deciding where we will all go out for dinner on Friday, something fun.
