Fall at Evelyn Losack's farm

We raked leaves at Evelyn Losack's house. It was a beautiful day. Avery played in the leaves for awhile and then her sister held her while she ate an apple from the barn. Our 80 year old voice teacher is an organic farmer and has an apple orchard. Avery wanted to go home before we were finished. Her big sister played with her in the swing under the pecan tree while we finished dumping the leaves in the garden to be tilled in for the spring.

Avery's hexagon "3-d" glasses.

For math one day Alisa and mom were using shapes to learn fractions. Avery had a good time playing with them. Stephen was making eyeglasses out of them to see things in different colors. Avery got a bang out of that too! Last weekend we took the kids to the movie. Avery sat on my lap and ate popcorn. When ever Brad would put his hand in the popcorn bucket she would grab his hand and push it out. When we ran out of popcorn she started to wail. Autumn and Madie shared their popcorn with her and she was content the whole movie, but quite possessive of her snacks!
