Leaves, Leaves, Leaves

We are definitely in the midst of fall here in Charlotte with all of the falling leaves! This is quite a different experience since we moved from a neighborhood where we had one tree total in our front yard. We had to rake just once in the fall to clean up all of its leaves. ;-)

It is a different experience for the kids too! We bought both kids their own rakes so that they could "help" us. Henry was helping sweep up one day and about a minute into it he stopped, dropped the broom, and said, "This is hard work.  I am going to play!" :-)

It might be hard work but we are all loving fall in our new city!

"Eeek! We are being swallowed by leaves!"
