Fall Festivities

We had some gorgeous weather here last week. The calendar says November, but it was in the low seventies outside. This time of year, Rebound is constantly dragging leaves in from the back yard. I would have to vaccuum once every half-hour to clear them all up, so we just deal with a little backyard in our family room.

Duh! Sometimes as a mom, I am so slow on the uptake. Anyway, some pictures speak for themselves:
