Every year since Bella was able to walk we have raked up the fallen leaves in the yard and let her play in them so of course she looks forward to that now that she’s getting older and can remember years past. This year is no different, although somewhere along the line we’ve lost or misplaced
our rake and is now replaced by brooms. So we "broomed" the leaves into a pile which took WAY longer to do BTW.

The leaf brooming quickly turned into scooping up leaves with the brooms and throwing them at each other. Mostly it was Bella and Carey with me behind the camera of course.
Then she saw me and headed straight for me….
This was one of those surprise photos that you get every once in a while. She’s not looking at the camera but you can tell she is deep in thought about something. Definitely will be scrapping this one soon.
And would you believe….I took 96 photos of this whole leaf experience? 96, I think I’ve lost my mind! LOL





Nope – haven’t lost your mind – just a scrapper!
Oh Bella looks like she had soo much fun! I actually love the fourth picture…it is phenom!
I think 96 photos is totally normal! We’re scrappers, aren’t we? They are all really great!
