Leaves Are Falling All Around

One of the most famous pastimes of Fall would be to jump in a big pile of leaves. I remember doing this when I was really little when we lived in a house with a backyard full of leafy maple trees. Fortunately, we have quite a few leafy trees in our backyard too. Last night Samantha really wanted to jump in a pile of leaves, so Jer made that possible. He went out and raked some up and the kids had a great time throwing them in the air and sitting in them. What fun!

After we played outside for a while we headed in and carved our pumpkins that have been waiting on our front porch. Samantha wanted a princess one and Jeremy made a bat one for us. Parker just enjoyed writing on his with a pen and stabbing it with a little carving tool. Whatever makes him happy! Samantha got bored with it, so I carved our bat pumpkin and Jeremy worked on her Cinderella one. The kids ended up watching a Halloween movie while we slaved over these dang pumpkins. It remember it used to be fun, but now it's kinda a hassle. Oh well. The tradition must go on!

  2. The Cinderella pumpkin looks great! And, the bat's awesome too! What great pictures of the kids in the leaves. I've been wanting to do that lately too, just so I can get a picture of the kids jumping in the fall colors. Too bad I'm so darn tired. And, there's no way I'm gonna get Jake out there to do it.

  3. Sounds about like what we did last night! It is a tradition that must go on. I have to say that scotty enjoys it much more than I do. You are a nice Mommy to let her have a Cinderella pumpkin. We said you can have happy or scary and left it at that!
