“Mommy! Make another pile of leaves!” both Carson and Ella begged. “We want to jump in them!”
For what felt like the 50th time, I raked leaves into a big, jump-able pile.
“If I rake these leaves for you guys, you better do cute stuff for Mommy’s camera! Promise??!!” I half negotiated, half begged.
“No way,” Ella answered with her standard reply. Carson just rolled his eyes at me.
Suckers.
Great pictures!
Those are priceless photos!
Your little girl looks SO much like you. I love it.
OH I likey your strategy.
The way they are looking at each other in that last shot is just the cutest thing ever!!

Awesome! SO jealous that you have fall leaves!
And I have a little boy who would love love love a shirt like Carson’s – mind sharing where you got it?
Adorable. Love the last one. That screams holiday card.
Comment to Annie! We have a pile of leaves about 20 feet long and 9 feet tall….and that is just our front yard…don’t wish for leaves! The pictures of the kids are SO cute. I miss them so!

I came over to say (but Beth already has), if you haven’t yet found your Christmas card photo – that last one is IT!

Are you serious? Is this all you have to do to get awesome photos? My youngest is such a ham, but M will not even look at a camera. I may have to try this.
They look so happy! You made me realize I never took Fall leaf pictures with my kids. Darn! That’s one of my favorite picture opps of the year!

Aww. They are so cute, and so happy. My children are big brother-little sister, too. My son went through a big Toy Story phase about a year and a half ago, and seeing your son wearing that shirt at about the same age my son was then reminds me of the sweetness of that interest and that time. Thanks for reminding me.

Oh dear Lord. You have to print that last one in 8×10 and frame it. Now.
You tricked them good!!!
