James does Fall

November 3, 2009

Yeah, I know, I can't seem to stop posting pictures of my kids these days.

What's that you say?... You think my kids are boring?... Well you know what?... I think your kids are a little bit slow.

So there.

And for those of you who actually enjoy these little snippets--you know, those of you with half decent taste--here's a video that captures fall in New England just perfectly.

I grew up in New England, and even now the smell of fallen leaves (which I don't get to smell much anymore) INSTANTLY makes me think I'm 4 years old and jumping into a pile of 'em. Nice viedo!

I'm not in New England but that reminds me of fall days in western MD. :) Good times.

Love it!

We would always rake a big pile of leaves underneath the swing set and jump off the swings into them. Good times.

Oh my goodness, James is so adorable.
I remember having to rake a HUGE (well it seemed huge at the time) yard in Wisconsin every fall; the only thing that made it worthwhile was getting to play in the leaves afterward. :-)
Now, I live in stupid Arizona and the only thing to jump in around here are piles of dirt...not quite the same. :-)

Are you kidding me? That was AWESOME!
I've never commented before but I want to tell you the crazy story of my finding your blog. I was perusing running podcasts and loved the name "Banned on the Run". So I listened to the one you all did w/ Marathon Mama and then checked out your blog. I'm from Utah...yeah...and was astounded to see that you're a Mormon! I swear to the Lord above that every blog I find that I like lately is oddly enough authored by a Mormoness of some sort. I don't currently practice and I'm convinced that the Holy Ghost is poking me via the internet...damn it!
Anyway, I love your blog...hilaaaarios! I also share your love of Mormon swears and running. Your children are really stinking gorgeous.

P.S. That "Erin" commenting is my sister. I, too, remember Wisconsin. It was fun for a while, but man all those trees got old.

Fe said...

That is SO AWESOME! I love the way he simply disappears into the pile of leaves!

Amy, that is one awesome pile of leaves! Also, can I just say...that your voice for some reason is higher pitched than I imagine while reading your posts. I will have to adjust your "voice" now!

As long as you love all videos of my kid...I love all the videos of yours. PS: I think you really need to write a post about our old roommates drunken nacho Irving incident.

He clearly needs to put in some speedwork. His turnover is pitifully slow...

M said...

Fabulous! This is something neither myself nor my children have ever experienced. Perhaps I should pencil in a trip to Maine in the fall....

Michelle Glauser said...

Wow, I definitely was not expecting him to suddenly disappear in a pile of leaves. He went down deep!

Oh man I love that! We just moved to AZ from MA and I have to say, that made me miss home! We used to have *huge* piles between my neighbors and my house. My kids and I miss that, my husband (the one who rakes or blew the leaves) not so much ;-)

What was great is that the city was sometimes slow at picking them up so you would have them all winter long..so come spring you would have a snow gross pile of mush in front of your house....ahh...memories :-)

Grandma said...

I swear this is making me feel better!

Unknown said...

that really is amazing. I don't think I've ever see a pile of leaves swallow a kid like that. It made me smile!

Adorable. Just adorable.

YAY for the gigantic leaf pile!
