Leaves

I hate leaves. They look pretty. But when they are knee deep to your two year old, and you are trying to remove them across your entire yard....well, it makes for a very long day.

Seven hours later, and we still aren't done, and we wonder why we allowed this much time to be spent in the yard. Nonetheless, the kids had a great time.

Dixie, laughing to herself that we are nuts for thinking we could do this ourselves.
