November Leaves


The leaves started falling...like moths hitting the zapper. 
One morning after a hard frost, I looked out the window to see this.
Katie is standing in about 3 inches of leaves.


 10 am.


 Noon.
Notice that there are no leaves what so ever left on the tree. 
I love this tree. It is crazy!
One great thing about having a tree like this, is you get to play in it's huge leaves.
Picture time!


 Katie, after jumping in a small pile of raked leaves.


 Lilli...no she isn't help rake the leaves to bag them... 
she is raking them so she can jump in them and scatter them everywhere.


See? I told ya!


 This is the 1st year since we moved into this house (and we've been here 8 years) that Lilli has come out to play in the leaves with us. She is usually such an inside girl. I think growing up is changing her a little.

Notice that Emily is not in any of these pictures? Yeah...she's just like Lilli was.


Maggie's mountain of leaves. She raked them by herself, she gets to jump in them all by herself.

 Liftoff!


 Flight!


 Coming in for the landing!


 "That was AWESOME!" 


We sure did have fun with our leaves.
It took us 3 days to rake them, 
but only because we had to stop and play and enjoy our time with them before they went away.
