Fall Fun

Spent a morning raking some leaves around our house.  We have all evergreens except two baby trees. (one is in the yard that is fenced in)  The wind blows the leaves from our neighbors trees onto our lawn.  (isn't that nice?)  It gives the kids the chance to jump into a pile of leaves.  (we had to borrow some of our neighbors leaves for these pictures, they assured us that they did not want them back)

                                   No leaves were hurt in the leaf jumping process.

All this leaf fun lead to our Christmas picture

Don't they look sweet?  All that sweetness ended with Newton not cooperating,

 

which led to a leaf fight

Man down!

And, of course, the "I wasn't throwing leaves!"

We raked these up and decided to make an infomercial.  Take a look:

Motivating.  Makes you want to get out there and move those buns, doesn't it?  Alex is a great actor.  Hoping to have a few more for you in the future.  :)

We took a little trip

Nice pants :)

to the Field Museum in Chicago

We got a little up close and personal with the animals

Got a little close to Sue

And a little close to the edge.....

The kids enjoy going into Chicago.  Too bad it was a foggy, rainy day. :( 

There you have it!
