Leaves and fun in the backyard

When we moved into our house 10 years ago, there were no trees in the yard and, therefore, no leaves to rake in the fall. Finally our trees have grown enough so we can rake up big piles of leaves for the kids to jump into. Zoey was pretty happy about the whole thing. Of course, Dave and the kids jumped in the pile, but never actually bagged the leaves, so there they sit in our yard. It snowed this week, so they will soon be decomposed into a wet, sloppy mess where they will undoubtedly create a big eyesore in our yard come spring. But alas, our entire yard is pretty much an eyesore most of the time, thanks to the kids "creative gardening". Micah has been working hard on his football skills. When it's not too cold, he and Dave go out back to "run plays". He's very serious.
