Wonderful Fall Weather!

OK so our new house has three huge trees in the back yard--that have a ton of leaves. Well when we were in Boise two weekends ago all of these beautiful leaves decided to fall off of the trees (I guess this is what happens in the fall). Well they all fell and then it started to rain so come Saturday we had about 6 inches of wet, soggy leaves covering the backyard. Now I wish I could just make them disappear or something, but I haven't been invited to attend Hogwarts and don't know the disappearing spell. Therefore, I figured we would have to do it the old fashion way and rake the darn buggers up, so very cheerfully I informed the girls that Saturday would be a great fun leaf raking day ( This is supposed to get them excited right?). Well, after about 30minutes of "come on get ready" we were finally outside. Sampson was in the house frying his brain watching a little Finding Nemo. The girls and I worked for over three hours and we didn't even get all of the leaves raked into piles, so guess what we will be doing again this Saturday. I can't wait. My dear manly husband missed out on all of the fun because the big stud was out trying to get meat for his family so we won't starve this winter--What a great guy!! No I am not being Sarcastic!!! OK maybe a Little!
