This week we thought we’d make the most of the autumn leaves before the snow descends (it’s coming soon, apparently!) and makes them all slimy. ‘Cause it’s all about the crunch, right?
Sadly, although we did go out and kick some leaves, a lot of them were already pretty slimy from the rain…
So I’m cheating a little this week and using photos from when the leaves were crunchy a couple of weeks back! It’s still nature in the city right? And autumn is almost over so wanted to share this before it’s too late.
So, it was a cold but sunny afternoon and we were headed to the park but Mushroom couldn’t wait that long. He saw a nice tidy pile by a tree on the corner of our street. ‘Can I Mummy…?’ I said no at first (someone had obviously gone the the trouble of sweeping them up) but he insisted ‘Kick leaves! This, leaves!’ He didn’t understand why we should wait til we got the the park. So I told him to go ahead and kick!
The look on his face was worth the guilt of messing up someone’s nice tidy pile… I hope they weren’t too upset the next day!

Ohh I can never resist kicking a nice neat pile of leaves….hehehe
They were inviting!
I’m sure they wouldn’t have minded if they had seen how happy Mushroom was. I don’t know a child (or adult) that can resist a pile of crunchy leaves. Thanks for linking up and sharing your fun with Country Kids.
Love kicking about in crunchy leaves! Great fun 🙂

We have had so much fun with leaves this autumn 🙂 #CountryKids
There;s just something about a crunchy big pile of leaves that is irresistible to kids!#countrykids
Isn’t there? I do love the crunch myself, too!
ohhhh i love this! This week has been about crunching through the leaves and sticks while they are all dry for me and my two aswell!! just the best fun even if it was me doing most of the crunching lol x x
Good fun isn’t it? Shame about the slimy ones here but I’m sure we’ll find more crunch before the snow sets in.
