Our “colorful” season is coming to an end! Between the wind and the rain, we lost most of our leaves this week! The weather warmed up a bit and the kids had a blast jumping in them after Grandma got them all raked up. The wee people totally took advantage of making a mess of someone’s hard work….It doesn’t get more fun than that! 🙂 . . . …
