Happy Fall!!

The girls have been so bummed that we don't have any trees in our front yard that have leaves. All our trees are pine. They kept seeing all the neighborhood yards fill with leaves and were wishing our yard was covered in leaves. Well a few good gusts of wind and thanks to the neighbors trees we raked up a good 13 bags of leaves and had a blast doing it!
Yes, Olivia's wearing a swimsuit. She's the crazy one in the family... and we love her for that.
And yes, she changed swimsuits.

This is how most people rake leaves....
This is how Kenney rakes leaves...
Happy raking everyone!!

Love it love it love it! Love everything about Fall on the East Coast. So cute Mandy. What a ham those girls are too! Love that Livy and such a classic picture of Hailey buried in the leaves.

ahh yes. I love fall on the east coast, nothing quite like it. Looks like my old hood in Jersey during my nanny years.

WOW!! We are so glad that you didn't bag Hailey up with the leaves! Good for Kenney and Olivia for thinking outside the box, pretty smart way to rake and bag at the same time, and fun way to swim without water!! One of my favorite things is to walk in the leaves and listen to them crunch!! How fun for you to experience a REAL Fall!!

Hi Mandy-

You have a darling family! I found you through Michelle's blog and have been peaking in occasionally for a while....sorry for the stalking! Just wanted to say hi and make myself known. Looks like you live in a beautiful part of the country!

So I have had no time lately to update or read blogs. I need a few extra hours every day! Love the leaf pic as well as Halloween. Pretty sure my fav pic is you and Kenney in your 80's getup. So Nice! Miss you guys so much. I know I say that all the time, but it's true. Tate stil asks at least once a week how much longer it will be until he can play with Hailey again.
