Pile-O-Leaves



Friday yielded a very nice afternoon...at least until about 3:30 or so when it got colder...But, before then, Christian, Kari and I got ourselves outside, raked up the TONS of leaves that had finally descended from our tree and had a ball jumping in them! (Well, the kids did--I just snapped a few pictures and helped them up into the tree!)

Christian got very brave and after a few tries with Mommy's help, jumped all by himself! (Kari "jumped" by getting lifted out of the tree and placed in shoulder-deep leaves--she loved it!) Oh, and the helmet was just as a result of her riding her tricycle beforehand and not wanting to take it off for the leaf-jumping festivities.

Emily has yet to jump into the leaves as she was still at school when we did this and by the time she got home the weather had turned and has stayed too chilly since (ah, Nebraska!). But, knowing Nebraska weather, it'll turn around and be beautiful once again next week and I know she'll be excited to get out there!

Happy Fall!
