playing in the leaves

the weather here has been fan-tas-tic. no rain, no snow, just sunny skies. and boy is that awesome for this time of year. we are not complaining that's for sure. of course since the weather has been cooperating, we have been taking every chance we can get to be outside. the kids love that, and so do i. in fact, tanner begs me to play outside everytime we return from an errand and cries and cries if i don't let him.



the incredible hulk playing in the leaves. does his jacket not make him look puffed up?




katelyn is just happy not to be napping.



they started playing following the leader. well, mostly katelyn was just following tanner around.



some sisterly/brotherly love. a parent's favorite thing to see i think.



these two were yelling at each other. ah...ah...ah...ah back and forth with some giggles in between.



we decided to take an impromtu walk around the neighbor hood and happened to find some gorgeous leaves. we picked them up for a special project we were going to do later.



katelyn resfusing to look. she just wanted to walk.



this is the tree where we found our leaves, and no, i did not edit this photo. that's how pretty the leaves were.
