"Leaf-nado," an actual love light + up early for the mail man

1. The last of the fall leaves for the year...it's been a beautiful fall...
2. Zo, seeing leaves on the ground swirling in the wind: "It's a leaf-nado!"
3. Zo of the clouds wrapping around the full moon: "The clouds are tucking the moon in."
4. Zo coming home from school with a bright yellow felt circle on a yellow length of yarn around her neck: "It's my love light! It's shining really bright today because I get a lot of love."
5. Zo up early yesterday at 6 AM...she had ordered My Little Pony Equestria Girls figurines with her allowance off of Amazon and I had told her they would come that day...she wanted to make sure she didn't miss the mail man...
6. Zo, after the fall festival party at school, where they had had stations they rotated through every 10 minutes, she set up her own party upstairs on her pink blanket with a dress-up station and a relaxing station and a snack station (where you could have pretend tuna fish and tea) and a karate station and a petting zoo with some of her favorite stuffies put into her wooden corral...it was the cutest...oh and a total mom fail on my part when it was past their bedtime and I was nagging, nagging, nagging for them to pause the party and get in bed. Once Zo was in bed and I was snuggling with her for tuck-in I said, "That was such a great party you set up!" And she said, "Yes. It was great. Except for the guest who kept yelling." Ouch...

Happy Friday!

XOXO
