Beales Invade: Bella and Nick in the USA: Fall is in full bloom here! Pumpkins, corn mazes and beautiful colours

So I'm told we are having a Indian Summer! Daily maximums in the high teens all October! Can't ask much more than that! It's meant lots of time to be out and about for Bella, Lily and Nick.... Flying Bella's birthday kite, playing in playgrounds and Bella's new found favourite game: tag, tiggy, chacey. Imaginative play is still number one, we are constantly having tea parties with Bella. Lily and Bella have been doing lots of arts and craft, making the most of the leaves and pine cones.

Mirabella has two great loves at the moment, Dr Mcstuffins and princesses. Bella wants to be a princess when she grows up, pretty much wants to wear pink all the time. This year we are not trick'or'treating and really don't think this will be a family activity for us even though most of the houses around us have developed grave yards, massive blow up black cats that have mechanically rotating heads and ghosts.

Nick has discovered the beautiful seasonality of the North-East, driving through the streets and small town is renewed with bright yellow leaves, some brown and striking orange. All the local farms are selling pumpkin pies, advertising corn field mazes and hay rides! Luckily the weather is still good enough to ride, we are only just getting frosts now!

Here are some moments from the past through weeks.
