Fall Fun

Our family loves summer but we have really also been enjoying fall and the fun things that it brings. I love the gorgeous colors every morning when I'm driving the girls to school. I love that it means the approaching of holiday season. I love the fun decorations that this time of year brings. I love the fun traditions that come with this time of year where my little family connects and get excited for the little things that bring magic.

All these leaves falling usually equals work- blowing and raking the leaves and bagging them up but to the girls it means jumping in a big pile of leaves and oh the fun! Nate did the work and Baylor was SO excited to get out there and jump over and over. McCall was excited up didn't really know what she was getting herself into and then she saw Baylor do it and loved it just as much.

I loved watching McCall get set and then see her little arms go as she ran as fast as she could towards the pile and then just fall in.

Of course a big pile of leaves means a little photo shoot.

Then more jumping over and over and over again.

Baylor LOVED it! She tried jumping into the leaves in lots of different ways and it was fun to see her try new ways and watch her creativity at work.

There were lots of leaves in their hair by the end of it all. It was such a fun way to end our day!

Then after school one day, I got Baylor's tutu made for her Halloween costume and then both Baylor and McCall wanted their fairy wings on and they were so cute so of course I had to get some pictures.

It was a magical moment in time for them and for me.

McCall loves doing whatever her sisters are doing and loved copying anything Baylor would do as they "flew" up and down the street.

This girl! Her personality shines in these pictures as she was doing all sorts of magical spells and fairy positions as I snapped away with the camera.

Then we did our yearly tradition of carving pumpkins. Baylor pretty much did  hers all on her own this year with a little help from dad. She was pretty proud of herself and so excited to show hers off to everyone once she got it all done.

McCall was a little unsure about the pumpkin guts at the beginning but loved using any of the tools she could get her hands on. At first she just liked poking her pumpkin with the tools but then got into scooping out the guts.

Paige had her pumpkin all planned out weeks ago and was excited to see it come to life. It turned out amazing and fit perfectly for her.

All done and set outside for everyone to enjoy!

Paige's braces pumpkin, Mcall and my spooky tree scene, and Baylor's happy jack-o-lantern. They all turned out amazing and I love seeing them on our front porch.

Now onto Halloween!
