Fall is left behind
Like leaves scattered on the ground
I will miss you so!
Like leaves scattered on the ground
I will miss you so!
The above photo was inspired by one that I saw on Wayfaring Wanderer's site. In her original photo she had a field of leaves, with a grassy heart in the middle. The minute I saw it I knew I wanted to find some red leaves to make a heart. It became something of an
I am so sad that most of the leaves around here are gone. The ones that are left are brown and yucky. I guess that all good things must come to an end. I'll have to wait another year to see Fall again.
Inside of my home, however, there are things that I have been overjoyed to see. My two little boys are figuring out how to play together, and it is the most adorable thing EVER!
Jonah will get down on the ground and say "Eli, come here! Come this way!". Then Eli tries to follow and catch up with him, giggling all the while. He thinks it is a great game... if only Jonah wasn't so fast! Eli also wants to play with whatever Jonah is playing with. Here are the two boys this weekend playing with blocks.
Jonah is definitely learning to tolerate Eli more and do a better job of sharing toys with him. It's fun to see them start to play together. (They both got haircuts on Saturday too. I think Eli's hair is so fuzzy and cute!)
I have even caught Jonah encouraging Eli to come into his room. Then he closes the door so Eli can't get out. I guess that way he has a captive audience! Either that, or they are already forming a "boys only" club. I think it's pretty funny.

ReplyDeleteI'm like you I am sad fall is behind us. It is a beautiful season. I heart your heart!;) So cool. The boys look so sweet playing together. don't you just wish you could freeze them at that stage!
ReplyDeleteI love the heart picture!! Really cool:-)
ReplyDeleteI too am sad that Autumn in coming to an end. However, that is a stunning picture and your boys are adorable.
ReplyDeleteTrust me, they're plotting in that room. I know whereof I speak.
ReplyDeleteThat shot of the leaves is really great.
Okay, that leaf pic is AWESOME!! We still have some fall leaves around here. If it is dry in the next few days maybe I can copy you and capture that great idea!
ReplyDeleteThat is AWESOME! I love the red heart, such a great idea :o)
ReplyDeleteKids learning to play together is great! Especially with many days locked inside coming up.
ReplyDeleteLove your leafy heart. :)
Those are two great pictures!!! I love the leaves...I might have to give that a try next fall (like you our leaves are too brown...and currently too wet)
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute! I am SO sad fall is leaving! It is my favorite by far!!
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love that leaf photo. Sadly all our leaves are brown mush now or I might obsess about taking one of my own.
ReplyDeleteYou boys club is adorable as well. The best Peace for moms is when the kids get along.
That really is amazing, the leaf picture. I saw the same and thought about doing it but didn't remember until seeing this. :) Perfectly done!
ReplyDeleteThe heart is such a neat picture!
ReplyDeleteAnd I hope that the bedroom sharing continues. We have our moments. But mostly K-Girl now shoo's him out whenever he gets within a foot of her bedroom door. It was nice while it lasted.
Oh - that really brought a tear to my eye because I so totally remember when my kids first started doing that too. It's SO precious - and let me tell you, it keeps getting better! How far apart are you kids?? Mine are 16 mo apart and right now they argue a lot, but the good definitely outweighs the bad. So precious@
ReplyDeleteI love the leaf heart--great idea! am really missing the leaves too--there's still a few hanging on but I'm depressed they'll be gone soon.

ReplyDeleteI love to see my children play together, they really do have lots of fun!
ReplyDeleteThe leaf heart is beautiful!!
How very cool!!
ReplyDeleteVery cool heart picture! I never think to do those kinds of things...you've inspired me!
ReplyDeleteLove when the kiddos learn to play together! Although sometimes that means they become "partners in crime" too! :) My oldest two were best friends for years and are still really close.
I passed along some love to you. You can pick it up here. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet idea you had with the heart and leaves. I'll have to look around the back yard tomorrow and see if I can find some left over leaves! lol @ you borrowing your neighbors leaves. What a great picture to frame. Your boys are adorable and isn't it sweet how they are bonding. My kids really are each others best friends sometimes. They are both in college and really miss each other this year. Time goes by way to fast, ~enjoy! =O)
ReplyDeleteAww! Brotherly 'love'!
ReplyDeleteAw! That is too cute. They look like the best of friends.
ReplyDeleteAnd your heart leaf picture is really pretty!
ADORABLE pic of the boys playing. How sweet!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the heart made of leaves. Very very pretty!
Great idea for the photo. I love how we can take inspiration from others and make things our own. See how I did that with a bunch of cliches?
ReplyDeleteOh well.
I just got home from my run and actually thought about this blog of yours!...lol My neighbor has the most beautiful leaves all over his yard...I may have to go over and help him rake them up!...lol
