Leaves

Over the weekend, a brisk wind stirred the leaves drifting around our backyard, and both kiddos stood enthralled at the French doors in our kitchen. Watching, giggling, and yearning to get outside and play among fall's most famous fallers. We only have a handful of deciduous trees on our property (most are evergreens), but luckily we had planned a Sunday visit to Mamaw and Papaw's house.

Leaves there? Everywhere!


First, we armed each child with a rake (and an adult supervisor, don't worry!) and let them create their own wonderful piles. Of course, we probably waited a bit too long, since most of the leaves had already turned brown, but there were enough pops of color to keep Ava and Hudson interested.

If you can't tell, there were smiles all around as we raked, jumped, laughed, threw leaves, and otherwise entertained ourselves.

It was leafy fun!

It was a good day.
