Pumpkins & Leaves

We have taken advantage of some nice days in the last few weeks and had some fall fun. My dad has a huge maple tree in his backyard and he gave us a call last week to see if Kylie would want to jump in the leaves before he cleaned them all up. Of course, she was excited about the idea. My dad blew the leaves into a pile using his leaf blower and even started blowing the leaves at Kylie. She had so much fun. Before we were done, she asked if she could climb the tree and before we knew it; my sister, Kylie, and I were up hanging out in the tree. It was a fun fall day.

We always carve our pumpkins halloween night, it gives us something to do as we wait for trick or treaters without resorting to the television. This year was no exception. My sister came over because she wanted to carve a pumpkin this year but said it was no fun to carve by yourself.... So we had lots of fun scooping, drawing and carving our pumpkins after making our very short neighborhood rounds (up and down the street) and eating dinner. Kylie wanted to make a 'scary' face, so my sister and mike helped her while I was on photo and Caleb duty. It was a lot of laughs and fun!
