Fall Leaves

The family got down to business and went outside to rake the yard today. It took about 3 hours and isn't perfect but good enough. Savannah and I went out in the morning to rake some leaves. After I was too tired to go on I made the teenagers come out and do the rest. I never imagined that we would have as many leaves as we did. It was a huge project! The joys of begin a home owner I guess. It was cloudy and windy which didn't help the cause. I knew that we had to get it done this weekend before the snow comes. I decided to place the leaves inside the garden to keep them contained. We will get around to burning them tomorrow when we have permission from the city to do so. I know it's the Sabbath but we can't burn leaves except for Wednesday and Sundays. The kids had a great time playing in the leaves. Savannah was up to her neck in leaves and was pretty entertained the whole time. Frankie managed to lose my I pod by jumping into the leaves. After about 20 minutes of searching he finally found it. That pretty much killed the fun after that point. Here a few pictures of the day.
