Once the leaves start covering the ground and are ready to be raked up into big piles certain members of our household get pretty excited.

                                         

                                                 But no one quite as much as Kerry.

 

                                And Mommy is just excited to catch that happy little face in picture.

I would love this photo so much more if that little leaf stem tip didn't make it look like she had a boogie in her nose.

 

The game goes like this; Daddy rakes up the leaves into a big pile and Kerry jumps in.  Repeat several times and convince Daddy to jump in at least once just for kicks.
