Fall fun and the loosing costume

We had a ton going on this past Saturday. On our way to the first of two parties, we stopped by the pumpkin patch at the kids school. We did not have a lot of time, but we got a pumpkin and a couple cute pictures. The kids school is taking fall portraits out there so maybe I will get some good ones after all!One of Carson's favorite thing about the Fall is jumping in leaves. Luckily for him, our backyard has enough leaves for he entire neighborhood to jump in. But, we have very few leaves in the front yard. Monday we were out playing and enjoying the nice weather. I decided that I could rake the leaves and let them play. I quickly learned that this is a job I could pass on to the kids!
First Carson was doing the work... Then he decided he would rather be the supervisor.Then they stopped to pose for picture.

Then Macie convinced Carson to take her for a ride in the mini wagon. It was a fun afternoon. We ended up having lots of friends come over to play too.

Later that evening, we pulled out Carson's costume from his 2nd Halloween. It was on the list of possible costumes for Macie, but I think it should be worn by a boy. That did not stop me from making her try it on. She looks very cute, but she will be wearing her cousins' old costume instead. Maybe next year she will finally get a costume of her own. (I wanted to get her a Minnie Mouse costume this year, but I decided to save my money for when she has more of an opinion)

Isn't she a cute Dumbo!
