Foto Story Friday #121- Fall is in the air

Round here the leaves are changing color and falling to the ground.  That is not really a surprise since we have already had snow!  I am glad that the sun has returned and that the snow has left for a while.  I'm glad to enjoy the cooler days but not at all ready for the cold of winter.  We have a very weather sensitive tree, I've no idea what kind of tree it is but it is always the first to release it's leaves every year.  On Monday after school the twins and I went out to enjoy the perfect day.  They were SO excited to have the leaves on the ground that they WANTED to rake them all up!

Who would argue with free happy rakers?!  So once we located the shed key and got those rakes out, they went to work, raking their little hearts out!

Don't you just want to join her in the raking duties?  Once they got all the leaves raked up, the neighbor kid even came over to help, because the plan was to jump right in!

And jump they did!  Running and splatting or butt bombing, it didn't matter as long as they ran, jumped and had fun!!

Fun they had!  They played for hours and hours!  from 3pm to 7pm when I convinced them to come in for dinner.

Tuesday was just as perfect a day and the tree had given us a blessing of way more leaves to rake up and jump into!

Some of us took it easy in the hammock!  Every once in awhile he needs to take a break! :)  Plus he has good ideas, like : "hey. go get your bikes and plow through the leaf pile!"

You only have to tell them once!  they ran for the bikes and squabbled over who would go first.  Em won as Scott remembered that he had a flat tire :(

Thankfully Em was nice enough to share her bike and he got his chance to play leaf plow!

Fall is defiantly in the air and on the ground and all around..... enjoy it because it is fleeting!

A walk in the leaves

I was at Brooke's blog and she was requesting someone walk through the leaves for her. So, if you live where fall doesn't really happen and you need a walk with the leaves ... here it is Robby and Cody were happy to take a walk for you.
