Leafy Fun!



A few months after Lily was born I joined a newly formed moms group called "The Adventure Moms." They host two activities a week (from playgroups to park times to hikes and various other little adventures). Lily and I try to make it out a couple of times a month. Well, last week we hosted an Adventure Moms Leaf Pile Party at our house. After weeks of raking we had a pretty big pile for the kids. We had 7 other moms and their kids join us! It was a little brisk that day- but the kids (and moms) managed to enjoy the leaves and the outside for about an hour. Thankfully Joe had a wonderfully warm fire going for us in the wood stove so we moved the party inside for some more fun and cupcakes!:) Good times with the moms! I have to confess though that these pictures aren't from the leaf pile party (I meant to take pictures, but I was a little too busy chatting with other moms and making sure the kids stayed out of the street). These pictures are from a few weeks ago (at just the beginning of our leaf pile). There is barely a leaf to be found on our trees now and the pile has made its way to our garden for mulch. Fall will quickly be winter...crazy! Hope that you have a Happy Halloween!
