What time of year is it???

I tell ya, I feel like we are in the middle of fall today. The task of raking up all the leaves in our yard is very overwhelming! We decided to tackle it today....worked for a couple of hours, I have a blister even with gloves, and am exhausted, and we barely made a dent in it. Of course, the kids that were so gung ho to get out there and do it, pooped on me very quickly, as you can imagine. I am thinking we may have a few years worth of leaves in our yard!
Isn't Leah's leaf raking attire stylish!?! We have the shorts, with black boots, Noah's transformer shirt, and mismatched gloves!

This pile was only raked from a small radius, and it is up past his knees.
Baby luckly got to hang out in the house with daddy before he went to work, then watched us from the porch in his stroller.
They had to play in the leaves before we got to work, of course, and they are the ones that requested I take pictures.
All 3 are sitting there throwing leaves....can you spot them?





Do you see this muddy mess? Oh wow....and so much more to do!

  1. Your kids look to be having such fun playing in the leaves. I am glad you had them to help you clear them all away. I have never seen so many leaves!
    Thanks for sharing the pictures.
