The fun of Autumn

Minnesota can have gorgeous falls.  I was worried when we had such an early snow fall that all hope of pretty fall pictures had abruptly ended and we had already entered winter. However, this past week has been amazing with the days being in the high 50s to mid 60s.  On Saturday, Stephen tackled the monumental task of raking the leaves in our yard.  (The reason for either teenagers or a leaf blower has become very apparent).  Samantha, the ever helpful child that she is helped rake which by a 2 year old definition is moving the leaves out of the pile that daddy was making.

Once raking was done they took out the giant exercise ball to play fetch/chase.  Much fun was had.

Hi Charisse,

What a pretty blog! Adorable children! I wanted to respond to your question about the width. My last kitchen, the green one, the drawer in the cabinet was 15" wide. You can look at the picture on flickr to get a perspective. It worked fine with a smaller sink. One of the great things about a smaller kitchen is a smaller footprint in the room. Here is the link:
