Fall is here! The leaves are changing and it is beautiful. The kids are enjoying playing in the leaves and doing the fall cleanup around the house. Morgan wants to save all the pretty leaves and not have them be part of the leaf pile but Myles insists it would take forever to take out all the ones she wants to keep. They compromise and Morgan saves a few... On with the raking and jumping, and re-raking to higher heights, and more jumping. If you remember about a decade ago the "Crop Circle" scare. Well my children have designed the equivelent out of all of the leaves in our backyard. Myles: "Don't mow them mom...they are our leaf forts."
It was creative so I left them alone. I put away the lawnmower till next year.

Pumpkin carving this year was a cinch! Myles and Morgan did almost all of their pumpkins all by themselves. However, I did volunteer to draw on Morgans silly face for her, Myles did do his own. They did all the cutting out with those special pumpkin carving kid friendly saws. (great invention by the way) They turned out quite splendid. They loved the gutting part. The messy stuff is always the best.
Sunsets are at their fall peak. We love driving around in the country and looking at the skys bright colors. Morgan loves the Purple, Pink, and Bright Blues. Myles likes the Burning Orange, Red and Yellow ones. I just love the sunsets all together. They are never the same. Just Awesome.

Today is one of my most favorite holidays. I take pride in dressing up my children in the not so normal once a year just to see the delight on their faces when they look in the mirror and check to see if anything on them is recognisable. This year Myles was a Demon (so fitting because lately he has been the deciever of our two bright children) and Morgan was a spider witch (not so fitting because she hates spiders, but these ones were pretty purple and black and sparkely!)
