spinning chairs and falling leaves

So here is what we have been up to lately at our house. Getting the kids dizzy in the spinning rocking chair and raking leaves from our 6 HUGE chinese elm trees that are spread out over our 1/3 of an acre. Let me tell you there are lots of leaves and they keep falling. It is really fall here in our little neck of the woods. The video for the leaves only have Hannah and Ruby in them b/c Katy was sleeping away. How she was sleeping with them doing road construction right outside her window I will never know but she was asleep the whole time. We decided to rake before the game on Saturday so the kids would be somewhat calm. After the blow out of the first half, Steve and I resorted to knowing the Cougars were going to lose so we watched more of Dawson's Creek. Our show we decided to watch now that Dexter is over until the next season comes out on DVD. Steve totally missed Dawson's Creek b/c it started when he was on his mission!! How much am I aging us now?? So we are starting in season 1 and having some great laughs with the whole teenage love stuff!! This is what you do when you don't have many channels to watch on TV and Netflix is always willing to send more DVDs!!!

I can't believe that it will be Thanksgiving this week! Holy Cow where did the year go?? Sorry for the early Christmas music, but it is all over the radio right now out here in Utah and for some reason we are all super excited about Christmas this year. The tree is going up on Friday along with the lights. I guess it is because this is the first year we have ever been in our own house for the holidays. At least that is what my husband tells me. So sorry for the early Christmas music, but it is all in fun for the season!! Can you guess which song is just for Ruby this year??
