Leaves, Leaves, Leaves!

I watched a friend's youngest two boys for a day while she went to her oldest's Halloween party at school.  We had a fun filled day of digging in the dirt, riding bikes, playing cars, "resting", and leaves. The boys had started making little leaf piles in the back yard and Jason decided they should have a manly pile, so he took a break from work and played with them for a while.  Their mom said this was their first time getting to play in leaves like this - they don't really have trees at their house. I think it went over well - they were all totally filthy and worn out by the time she managed to get them into the car to go home.

Not too sure about the leaf pile.

Yeah! Throw them in the air and let our moms try to get a cute picture of us under falling leaves.

What you do if you have to go and are covered in dirt!

 The next evening we went to Jason's cousin's house for an Autumn cookout.  The kids got to play in more leaves and had a great time again.
