Fall Leaves = Big Fun

I have a love/hate relationship with the fall. Its my favorite time of year for the beauty of it all. I love the fall colors in the trees and I sort of like the crisp, cool weather. But I am not a big fan of raking leaves. My kids however see a big pile of leaves and their world is unleashed into a fantasy world of fun and merriment. I cant help myself but smile too because not only are their smiles contagious but I remember thinking jumping in leaves and burying myself was a lot of fun.

I am not going to be happy when gone are the days of my kids wanting to jump in the leaves.  Although -- perhaps then will begin the days of them having to do the raking instead of me.... hmmm.
