Activities from the Library

We are library-goers around here. One of the things I love about our library is their seasonal shelving. They always pull books out for whatever holiday or season is coming next.

So what obscure things has Collin learned about fall from reading these books? mustaches on jack o' lanterns, bobbing for apples, overeating on Thanksgiving, and jumping in leaf piles.

So when Ryan went out last Saturday to mow up our fallen leaves, Collin was SUPER upset.

Good ol' Daddy pulled out the rake instead, and Collin even "helped" a little.
And then he played and played! He couldn't have been happier.




 And then his little brother had to join in too.




And then Mom and Dad were feeling left out.


And it turned into a great family fall activity - all because of some library books.

I love fall leaves! And, as grateful as I am that we don't have to rake our yard, sometimes I wish we did have leaves to play in.
