Fall Fun

Yesterday, Mike & I began the monumental task of starting to rake up the leaves on our lawn. Gotta love those trees at this time of year. Mike actually cheated this year, using the blower that is part of his shop vac he got for Christmas. I stuck for the good ol' fashioned rake (until I got a hold of the blower, that is :)) While we were raking, we invited our niece & nephew over to play in a pile (that we could mostly guarantee as 'bomb' free) while they were over at my parents. The day included some little munchkin filling my shoes up with leaves (he thought it was funny, especially when Uncle Mike showed him how to really shove the leaves into the toes) and another little munchkin taking charge of the blower. It was a fun day. Here is some of the fun they had. On a side note, today, it doesn't look like we spent any time raking leaves yesterday...blah.
