One Week Later....

The Tree has slowly decided to delve its punishment.

This pile I'm standing on has migrated from the initial leaf pile I made earlier this week as you'll read below:

While we were waiting outside for Chris to get home from work earlier this week, I decided it would be fun to create a little leaf pile for the kiddies to jump into. These pictures were taken today of a much smaller (but just as exciting) leaf pile.

It was actually quite enjoyable seeing the kids emerge themselves in the leaves (Eliza even tried "swimming" in them, which was HILARIOUS!).

I was getting a good workout sweeping all the leaves off of the driveway and "accidentally" burying the kids. We were having so much fun piling the leaves!

Hmph. Fat lotta good that did me!

The wind blew the majority of the pile BACK into the driveway that night. What you see here was already once in the leaf pile on Monday.

It's getting to the point that we can't really open the side-door unless we shove all the leaves out of the way. They just KEEP COMING BACK! The side of our house is like a perfect wind funnel for leaves to pile into. ARGHH!!!!

Leaves have been steadily falling, but you'd never guess that looking at this picture I took a few hours ago of The Tree.

Just wait until next Wednesday's pictures! I almost cringe at the possibilities...
