After the pumpkin patch, we went to one of our favorite parks to gather leaves. That was a lot of fun for the younger two, while the older pair got bored and a bit rowdy with Dad. After we got the leaves home came the drudge work of ironing them between wax paper to help preserve them. Master procrastinator that I am, I tried to put it off as long as posssible. Finally fears of all the leaves being dry and crunchy forced me to the ironing board late one night. A few scorched fingers and a roll of wax paper later and my house is full of leaves smushed between sheets of wax paper. Now I have to go unearth the construction paper for the kiddos so they can start their art projects and I can quit waltzing around leaf piles.

Good idea for preserving the leaves. It will all be worth it when the kids projects are posted on the wall or fridge.
