Fall Fun

Allison has been asking to go and rake the leaves all week. I knew that I couldn't just let her go out and I was still getting over my cold. Finally today I gave in and we all went out. The street we live on is so busy so I just can't let them play outside unless I am with them. Some might think I am over protective but I don't care. I only get one chance at raising them so I am not compromising on things I truly believe in. I do believe Madison is mature enough to watch them but she was at school. We got the rakes out and then I remembered that I hadn't planted my bulbs yet so we did that too. At first it was all the kids raking and I was planting the bulbs but soon the girls were doing all the planting.
I didn't mind. Once the bulbs were all planted then the kids went and played in the leaves that Porter had raked.
They took turns burying each other(something Allison learned from her Uncle Scott and Aunt Carol). Ashley, Elahn and Porter thought it was great. Next they took turns running and jumping in them.
The leaves entertained them for well over an hour. It was great watching them play and have so much fun. We have a bunch more leaves to fall so I am sure this won't be the last time they go play in the leaves.
