Thursday night Tim and the kids raked leaves. It is something the kids really look forward to. For weeks they have been staring out the slider watching the leaves turning colors and longing for them to fall off the trees. Well, it was finally time. The trees aren't all "naked" yet- according to Avery, but it was time to have some fun. The kids grabbed their rakes (or a shovel in Avery's case) and helped Dad rake leaves. The helping lasts just long enough to make a pile worthy of jumping in. As soon as it is decided the pile is acceptable Dad is on his own for the rest of the night!!
Jackson and Avery goofing around in the pile of leaves.
Seriously? Who does this? I was laughing so hard at Avery because it's such an Avery thing to do- but in my mind I couldn't help but think about how nasty it truly is!
It takes several hours to rake all of the leaves in our yard, so it got dark as they were playing. They didn't mind though. This is the scene when Jaidey asked if I could please get her "an outside pillow!"
Almost done! The sad thing about the whole situation is that when we woke up the next morning and looked out the slider- the yard was completely covered with leaves. There was no evidence of Tim's hard work. The kids were excited about it because they know that means that they will get to do this all over again- Tim- not so much!!!
