Fall Fun

Earlier this week it was unseasonably warm. Which meant it was a great time to go outside and play in the leaves. The smell of fallen leaves, the rustling sounds - it all brought back memories of growing up, and raking leaves into piles and jumping in.

Ben thought running through the carpet of leaves was loads of fun. He also thought it was hysterical when Claire or I would toss a handful of leaves up in the air, and they would fall on him as they drifted back down to the ground.


Claire made "leaf angels" and threw handfuls of leaves up in the air (or at me) over and over and over again.


Even Tiger came outside to play.


And what would be the best way to end the afternoon of fun? Sharing popsicles with friends, of course.

(Note how both of my children are too consumed with eating
their popsicles to look at the camera.)
