Subscribe to Our Feed!I was excited when I read, last week, that this week’s You Capture theme was The Feeling of Fall. Why? The feeling of Fall is most definitely here. The temperatures have dropped and the leaves are starting to do the same thing. They’re showing up in various shades of red, yellow and orange.
Beware: lots of pics. I was snap happy.
First, some leaves.
While trying to snap the above leaf, this little friend crawled by.
Then I took some pictures of the boys playing in the leaves on this particular day. This was before the fire so we weren’t yet exhausted or grumpy.
Please note that BigBrother is stabbing LittleBrother with a leaf stem. Brothers.
Pretending to eat leaves like The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
Then the fire happened. And we escaped to the park on Monday again for sanity’s sake. With their new fall pumpkin shirts on from a great little Etsy store. It cured a little bit of the grumpies but not all of them. Trust me. At least they looked cute.
Leaves are funny.
And, to wrap it all up, some more leaves.
I want to give a big, hardy thanks to Beth at I Should Be Folding Laundry for the challenge this week. Not only did it turn up some great pics (some of which I didn’t even share here) but it got the three of us non-firefighters out of the house on Monday after a very long, very worrisome, very exhausting weekend. It allowed us to laugh, run through leaves, throw leaves, stab each other with leaf stems, argue over leaves, pretend to eat leaves, accidentally eat leaves, bring leaves home and crush said leaves into the carpet on accident. Without this challenge, we likely would have stayed in on Monday as it was somewhat chilly. We would have been stuck at home, grumpy and getting on one another’s nerves. I’m so glad that we had a fun fall day.
Even if there are leaves crushed into my carpet.
Next week’s theme is red. Ooh. Who predicts some fire truck shots for Fire Prevention week? Double win! Speaking of winning, we’re giving away a $100 Visa gift card on Stop, Drop & Review. Go!

These are fantastic- I especially love the second one, with the close up of the colorful leaf. And your boys are too cute. And those shirts? I am definitely going to look at the etsy shop. Nice work!
P.S. LOVE The Very Hungry Caterpillar- that was my theme in my classroom when I taught kindergarten

I love fall pictures! (Probably because I love fall.) The weather cooling down, leaves changing colors, and pumpkin lattes have put me in a better mood lately. And those pumpkin shirts are adorable – do they come in adult sizes?
The blog looks great in pink as well. We have breast cancer in our family too. And also love pink.
Wow these shots are amazing and your boys are so adorable!! Looks like you all had a great time! Glad you got a chance to get out and escape for a bit.
