the other day, my friend and i were tasked with creating the perfect christmas card photo containing her, her husband, and their two high energy boys (ages 4 and 2)

we knew that the session would be very short {due to the lack of attention spans of said high energy boys} and the main goal was to have everyone looking at the camera…smiles were bonuses

let’s just say that i can be pretty crazy at a photo session….if i have to.  lots of jumping, high energy, strange noises and sounds….all to keep the attention of small childrens so that they don’t go running off to play in the leaves

which leads me to playing in the leaves….

we managed to get that perfect christmas card photo….pretty quickly, i might add {because i’m super awesome and amazing} and while me and momma were taking a break…her hubs started piling up the leaves…

which led to this

sometimes the grown ups just want to act like kids and jump in a big, huge, pile of leaves

and   i . love . it .

i encourage you to jump in a big pile of leaves before the cold of winter gets here and you just don’t even want to leave the house!
