Take that, leaves!

 Yesterday, the girls and I went out and raked our front yard (though, for some reason, I'm the only one with an aching back, this morning... weird...). 

We decided to go the One Ginormous Pile route.

 Pretty impressive, eh?...

 ... especially when you learn that we don't even have a tree in our yard.

The best part?  Jumping in, of course!

Throwing leaves was pretty fun, too.

Now we just have to hope Sandy doesn't blow them back over the yard before Michael gets them bagged (hint hint, Michael... bag the leaves, please!).  

But even if the wind triumphs, I suppose that it just means we get more leaf fun. :)
