More leaf fun

One of the annoying, but fun things for the kids during the fall season is the amount of leaves that we get at our house. Being at the bottom of a cul-de-sac that is surrounded by trees, the wind blows the whole neighborhoods leaves into our yard. It also doesn't help that we have two beautiful, but leafy Maples in our back yard. Finally we have had some nice weather, so we went out to rake up the leaves. Having kids makes a yucky chore a lot of fun. I actually look forward to it (a little)


We never get tired of seeing Isaac run and jump into the leaves. I cringed when I realized we did not change him out of his church clothes!


Even Mommy and Daddy got in on the fun. One of the great joys of being a parent is the freedom to be a kid again (even most of you think we have never really grown up!)


Matthew got to join in on the fun as well. He kept trying to eat the leaves (yucky!) But had a good time watching his brother.


(Notice the abandoned Chicken coop behind me....my intentions to get a few chickens were sidelined when we got Matthew, but I am anxiously awaiting springtime when we WILL get a few!)
