Leaves, Leaves, Leaves!!!

 Last weekend we had a family leaf raking day- let me tell you- we have a lot of leaves!!! I t was fun at first and then reality set in- we-have-a-lot-of-leaves! Even with the help of the blower, it took us all day! But the kids really enjoyed being outside "playing"!

This is the before!

Getting ready to rake

They sat here playing and "digging up the tree" for about 30 minutes!!

Cleaning up "her" yard!

All clean and window boxes planted for the winter!

Front all clean...for a few minutes! As we were taking this picture, admiring our hard work, a big gust wind started blowing leaves, and Maya, with a look of disbelief on her face, shouted, "Wait! Stop! We just cleaned up!"

We looked up to see...all these leaves still have to come down!!!!
