Kids in the Fall

I'm so glad I didn't have to title this entry as "Falling Kids" - thankfully we have not had any accidents around here lately!
We are just enjoying the season these days - the crisp mornings and warm afternoons - and the cool nights are ideal for sleeping comfortably! Micah and I raked a leaf pile the other day and the kids enjoyed playing in it. I think Micah enjoys raking more, though. He is my helper! Emmy is a great helper with Lily - always keeping an eye on her and keeping her out of trouble! Micah is my work helper - always wants to sweep or vacuum or dust... or rake! And Lily is my pain in the neck - always climbing onto or into something, or trying to stick toys in the central vacuum hole, or eating paper, or pulling stuff out of cabinets... she's very adventurous!
Tomorrow the kids and I are going apple picking with my friend Jenn and her 2 kids - there is nothing like a fresh picked apple! And Monday we are going with Dad to Buell's Orchard Open House like we do every year. We'll get our pumpkins there, and then the carving fun will begin! What a fun season!
