Sunday Funday















Despite the fact that the thermometer said 65, I bundled us up for some play outside on this glorious sunshiney Sunday afternoon, because it's November forcryingoutloud. But the sun, she was beating down. Within minutes, red-faced and sweaty, we threw off our jackets as we got down to the business of playing in the vast piles of leaves that have accumulated in our yard. For more than an hour, Sophie ran and burrowed and cavorted and dug and hopped. And laughed and giggled and squealed.

This? Is just one of the many reasons I love Fall so much.

  1. I was just checking your blog, as Christopher played on the bed behind me. As the page loaded on the screen, I heard him say loudly and happily "Sophie!". I was amazed. I don't know why, but I was.

  2. We did, too! I even (gasp!) walked them to the park.

    I felt like such a good mom. I'm off the hook for at LEAST a week now, right?

  4. It was a beautiful weekend here too. And we spent most of it outside as well, but I did not take a single picture of the kids playing in the leave. What kind of mommy blogger am I?

    Anyway, that is a gorgeous photo of your bean.

  7. Oh, that's beautiful! I did something with leaves 2day to. lol. I put up a short fence along the sideyard to catch the leaves from my neighbors yard (he has trees, we don't. we're sick of raking HIS leaves from our yard, lol)

    But, today, I went over and sucked all the leaves up on both sides with a leave vaccuum. Because I'm such a nice person. LOL

    Can't wait to see Sophie pics in the big snow piles this year, omg, it'll be so cute...and she'll probably give ya a run for your money out there in the blusteries! ha ha.

  15. Great shot!

    I am waiting for the dang rain to stop so we can go out an play in the leaves. No one is allowed to rake them up until we've played. :)
