Ah, the Autumn Equinox, when the light really is fading fast. Lately, I've been feeling the need to get outside as much as possible. We have enough indoor time staring us down in the coming months. So, I didn't organize a project to honor the day, we just headed outside for some disorganized running around.
See the shadows? This was taken at 5:33 p.m. So soon it will be pitch black at 5:33 p.m. Rage, rage against the dying of the light. We rage by kicking a soccer ball around.
And Chandler hung out in her carrier.
I suppose I could have let her out to "play" soccer too - she would have had a great time rocking on all fours in the grass and hollering in her sister's direction - but eventually this would deteriorate into eating grass and whatever else she can find. No grazing for Chandler.
We finished up with a trip to the playground. Frances is not overly keen on slides. She's finally comfortable on straight, short slides, but not long, twisty ones. I want her to learn to like them though, so I agreed to go with her. And Chandler needs to learn to like them too, so....
And now we plunge into darkness.
