Just Another Fall Day Mid-Winter

These crazy children love to play in the leaves.  (When I think of dead leaves scattered all over the yard, I can't help but imagine the squirrel poo that is on them.  I didn't mention that to them.  Wait.  Yes, I did.  I am so not a nice mom.)

They don't just like to run and jump into the pile.  They like to be buried in the pile.

Although after several minutes, Eliana wasn't so sure about her state of burial.  How long was she supposed to stay in there?

She was happy enough once Christian helped her out of the pile.

Then he dove in.  And quickly covered himself head to toe.

(Shudder.)

There was a lot of raking.  And some instructions (Michaela is an expert in giving instructions).

Eliana had so much fun the first time, she wanted to be buried again.

But she did not want her whole face covered.  And guess who couldn't resist?  Just one small handful over her face?  Actually, I don't know exactly who tossed gently placed the leaves in her face, but...there were repercussions.

She recovered quickly, and if you look carefully you will see that that is a fake cry.  Very noisy and whiny...but no tears.

Leaves in their hair, in their clothes, in their shoes...

I'm sure they showered leaves out of many hidden places that night.

So fun. It's nice to see siblings playing together.
