Leaves!!

The leaves turn yellow, and the next day they ALL drop at the same time. So today my sisters came over cuz mom had the day off. We made apple pie filling, and canned it (yay for REAL homemade pies for the holidays). Then I decided the kids were getting in the way and so I took them all outside to play in the leaves. That was great fun.

So the difference between a two year old and a four year old is this: a two year old will run through the leaves, jump in the pile, and throw them in the air. A four year old will rake the leaves and pretend they're building a house. They'll dig and dig to try to create a "door" and then when the two year old goes to run through the leaves and throw them in the air.....the four year old gets mad for messing up the "house". Just thought you'd like a little taste of what went on out there. Pretty cute actually.

So Tyler was outside too today, but he was fascinated with the ditch. As we were helping the kids rake the leaves, we noticed only four were in the yard. "Where's Tyler?" He's sitting by the ditch-bank off in his own little world. He can be the happiest kid in the world if you'll just leave him alone! He's very cute. Watch the video on that one!The kids had lots of fun in the leaves! And they always have a good time when they're all together.
