Fall Fun Summer Style

Cameron has baseball tonight.  He hasn't played in two weeks, so I thought he could maybe use a little practice.  So out to the yard we went with ball and bat in hand.  (I figure if he can hit the ball with me pitching, he is doing pretty good.)

We played for a bit...until the piles of grass got to me!!
And then the light bulb went off:)

I told the kids to get some rakes.  We could rake the grass up into a  pile to jump in just like we do with the leaves in the fall.  They were quite excited.

They raked a bit and the fun started!  They took turns jumping.  And then they decided to just lay there while I raked the grass right over them.  Needless to say shirts and hair are still full of grass;)

The laughter, smiles, and giggles (there were tons!!) were priceless.  They thought it was just the coolest thing.  Times like that I remember why I stay home and love being a mom.  Things like that boost up the cool mom feelings too;)
