Amelia loves, loves, loves (her words) seasons. We have been discussing autumn extensively ever since she spied the leaves changing colors, and she has waiting with GREAT anticipation the annual falling of the leaves. We have a book called “Leaves are falling” that she can recite verbatim. Needless to say, she was overjoyed when gravity took toll on our tree’s dead leaves; I did not have to coax or even prompt her to take this inaugural jump:
Lily was excited about the leaf pile until she couldn’t escape it:
Our landlord brought his 4-year old twins over to play while he worked on the yard.
And our neighbor came out to play.
The children squealed nonstop for hours as they jumped into, did flips in, and covered themselves with the leaves. I astonished Amelia by doing a front handspring into the pile. Joggers and neighbors stopped to smile and watch pure joy in action.

That's an epic leaf party. I want to do a triple lutz into the pile. Amelia's smile is priceless.
Pure happiness on those sweet faces!
I love that your kids spend so much time outside, actually doing things. They are having a great childhood...you can take my word for it.
Kids enjoy the simple pleasures best. No doubt about that.
Some of us older kids enjoy the simple pleasures the best also.
Love that top picture, along with the rest! Love that you entertain us in person or with pictures! Love the blog updates. Happy happy happy!
Those cute little girls know a good thing when they see it!
