{Saturday Morning}

 It is that time of the year, when we have an abundance of leaves in our yard.  The lawn guys have been taking care of them when they cut the grass every week but there were so many we thought we would pitch in and help.  Plus in our neck of the woods there is a certain day scheduled in which the city comes around with a big leaf sucker upper and they suck up all the leaves around town.  All you have to do is put all the leaves on the curb.  It is really a great idea.  Ours is next Tuesday, and I wasn't sure if the lawn guys would get here before then.  So we set the kids to work (slave labor) right after breakfast.  The two oldest kids helped tremendously, they were such hard workers.  The younger two....well not so much, but they were outside and were with the rest of us so I guess they can be included in the fun.  When we woke up this morning it was 30 degrees!!  I love this time of year, it is cool (maybe even cold) in the mornings and evenings, but it is so pleasant during the days!!  The kids started out all bundled up but by the time we were done, they had stripped off the hats and gloves.  It is shaping up to be a great Saturday!!
