Fall Leaves!

Elijah, Emmaline, Josiah, Jeremiah and I had a great time last week raking up all the leaves in our front yard and jumping into the pile!  It had been very still the whole week prior so all the leaves from our tree ended up in our yard instead of blowing away.  Normally we don't need to rake up the leaves, we just leave them and the wind takes care of them for us!  We had a pretty good size pile going and the kids had fun burying each other, throwing the leaves up in the air and making "leaf angels" (snow angels in the leaves).  After the kids got tired of jumping in the leaves we played duck duck goose and freeze tag.  It was a lot of fun!

A Taste of Summer...

Today it was over 80 degrees here!  Hot, Hot, Hot!  It doesn't feel like fall at all, even though the leaves are all changing, and the pumpkins and fall decorations are all out.  Since it feels like summer I let the kids have popsicle's as a special treat and they were on cloud 9! (This really was today, I don't know why the date stamp is so off...)

Crawling!

Micah started crawling last week!  He is still getting the hang of the whole process, but he can get from one side of the room to the other in a relatively short amount of time!  I love to watch babies crawl, it gives them so much joy to be able to move and keep up with everyone else!  :-)  Micah also has mastered moving in our walker, he can zoom around in that very well!  He LOVES to be able to keep up with all his siblings!  Between the two things he is quite mobile for only 8 months!
