Beautiful Fall

This is probably where you expect to see a picture of all of the kids jumping into a big pile of leaves to "reward" them for their hard work. WRONG!!
Because...
So today, we are going to rake and sweep and THEN jump in the leaves - I even bought some hot chocolate and mini marshmallows for after. I LOVE FALL!
One more thing...
My butterfly bush is in full bloom - just one more reason to love the season!

That tree is beautiful! I love that you got the neighbors to work in the yard too. I need to learn the trick. My kids will go work in our neighbors without any reward, but it's like pulling teeth to do anything in our own even with bribes.

I miss Utah autumns! Love the pics!

Leaves, the story at my house! :)

I gotta get me one of those bushes. How fun to see that color in the fall.

Oh you have to love those trees! We have 3 in our backyard that my husband threatens to cut down every year, but I keep protesting, I guess that I should put some work into the clean up and then he wouldn't be so bugged by it, but then I might want them gone! I should really try the neighbor kids. I do love this time of year!
