Although we still had a few cold and clear days, we often woke to heavy frosts that were so beautiful! It almost looked as if we'd had a dusting of snow.
We did our final raking of the leaves for the winter...
The kids were beginning to get the hang of leaf raking and turning into quite the good helpers.
Miss Kate had a much better attention span than her 2yr old brother...
That's not to say there wasn't some goofing around on her part tho.
(I'm pretty sure her brother would have been raked into the leaf pile if intervention had not occurred.)
But she continued diligently raking even when brother left off with the work part of things...
And even when he began playing in her hard work...
she continued on.
After he paced back and forth several times in front of her he was made to fix her leaf pile...
But in reality I think he spread it out even more! :)
So Kate gave up on being helpful and gave in to having fun!
Did you know if you walk around in a circle, passing through a leaf pile, while shuffling your feet...
over and over...
and over again...
changing directions if you start getting dizzy...
and you do it for long enough...
you will eventually get a circle shaped leaf pile!
And if you have a circle shaped leaf pile with a path through the middle there are no end to the games you can play in it!
But all fun must come to an end...even fall fun!
Not to worry though, as winter fun is just around the corner.
And freezing fog is sure pretty to look out the window to.
