Leaf us in the leaves Please!

WOW who knew how much fun leaves are! well mommy did!  what a fun time Joshy and I had playing in them. the pile was as tall as we are.  We also got to see daddy run equipment across the road from us. He has such a fun job. We offered to help but he said no thanks! so we jumped in the leaves some more. Joshy ate most of them.  Mommy has been in a soup making kick as this weather has turned a little colder. But it's still nice out side.  We don't mind at all.  Hannah enjoys dressing up in beautiful princess dresses.  She tried to put one on Joshy and He did not appreciate it at all!  and as requested Mommy will put the recipes of the soups For all to enjoy :) as she sure does ( and so do we)
