Ever since it got cold Claire has been anxious for the leaves to turn colors and fall. Last year she got her very own rake to help with the leaves, but with an early snow last year she was never able to use it. She was determined to use it this year. As the leaves started falling she kept asking and asking if it was time yet...so we decided to shake the two little trees we have in the backyard and help the leaves fall so Claire could use her rake. She was in heaven!!
Of course Mia couldn't let Claire have all the fun; so she did some raking too (well if you can call it raking).
Then the real fun began...JUMPING IN THE LEAVES. I love watching my kids play in the leaves. Claire just loves to jumping in them too!!
This was the first time Mia could play in the leaves and she wasn't all that sure about them. However, after watching Claire for long enough she decided maybe it was an ok thing to try. She eventually had fun with the leaves.
After a great time raking leaves, jumping in the them and then doing it all over again...it was dark, which meant time to clean up. The best part is both girls loved helping clean up too!!!
