leaves

a month or so ago p and i collected fall colored leaves. we pressed them in a book and finally got around to hanging them in our window! in the sparks house christmas decor doesn't go up until after thanksgiving. SO, we thought we would try to make our house a little more festive for thanksgiving. it was a fun little project. we were able to take about the changing seasons and discuss the different colored leaves we see at fall time. here in SD the trees are still full of red and orange leaves and so it still feels like fall and we are loving it!

 collecting the leaves and pressing them

we put them in wax paper pouches and hung them in the window.
