Leaf adventure

Gwenchik nowadays gets a lot of homework: from English preK and Russian classes, and by the time she gets home she is really too tired to do anything. So, mostly we try to do everything on the weekend. But the English homework is given during the week, so normally we have to scramble to do it.

The last assignment was to collect leaves in different shapes and color! Oh, what an adventure. We got our flashlights and warm jacket,s and went wondering the streets. Even though you can easily see most of the leaves because of the street lights, Gwenchik played detective, scowering the sidewalk, than pointing her little flash light:

Gwen: Mom, look at this one. We would have missed it if it was not for my magic light.

How I long for the times of my life that needed magic for everyday use.
