The marking of Fall in a household with five kids…a list

                                                             

  Despite the following truths,

  I really do enjoy this beautiful time of year.

  Here is what to expect  should you decide

  to “drop by” our farmhouse in the moors of       Scotland -                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

1) leaf piles inside doorways and under (I didn’t open it!) velux windows

2) building sand in the shower stall & beach heads in the bathtub

3) pink fairy glitter down the hall & under the piano (due to school panto dress rehearsals)

4) welly boot toe prints up the wall by the back door

5) indoor animal herding (cats, piglets, turkeys, pheasants) due to high winds or children who are, in fact, being raised in a barn

6) a wet clothing convention in the laundry room

7) hay in the hairbrush and in the toilet bowl??

8)  smoking candle wicks (I didn’t blow it!) and wax spatters fanning out across tables and chairs

9) hot chocolate polka-dots on floors, clothing & faces

10) migrating blankets, throws, pillows & babies to whichever bed/room is the warmest   (overnight guest, you have been warned!)
