it's Autumn Time

Marlee and Daddy Playing in their big pile of leaves

Marlee enjoying her hard work


I Love living in the mid-west. I am a mid-west girl. I love the seasons, all of them, Winter, spring, even the hot humid summer, but Fall is my favorite time of year! It's the air, the wind, the smell, the cooler weather, and all the beautiful colors. My favorite thing about fall this year is Marlee singing her autumn songs. I think Marlee's favorite thing is raking up the leaves with her daddy and jumping in them when they are done. I think Keenan's favorite part is when all the leaves have finally
fallen off of the trees and the raking is done...
(But I think he has just as much fun as Marlee playing in those leaves!)


It’s autumn time. It’s autumn time.
The leaves are falling down.
It’s autumn time. It’s autumn time.
It’s all around the town.

It’s autumn time. It’s autumn time.
There’s yellow, red, and brown.
It’s autumn time. It’s autumn time.
Bright colors can be found.

fun fall pictures! that is so funny that you posted words to the autumn time song b/c I couldn't remember them and made up my own for Eli...

"It's night night time it's night night time,
It's time to go to sleep..."

Now that we're fully into the time change, I'm trying to train Eli to sleep later (since he has been waking up at 5:30 a.m., eating, and going back to sleep, which I wouldn't say is completely sleeping through the night) but so far it's been 40 minutes of listening to him fuss/cry off and on. Ugh. So much for night night time!
