We have this big tree in the front yard... the tree is great. It provides awesome shade during the summer months. In the Spring it blooms these pretty small white, sweet smelling flowers. They suck to clean up when they dry up and fall off though. lol. Anyway, the leaves on this tree are HUGE! They are seriously the size of Chloe's head.
Usually they fall off all at once, but this year with the weather being warm, then cold, warm, then cold again, they took their time falling off, so we took our time before we would clean them up.
The other day after school the kids decided to be helpful and rake up the leaves. After raking a pile big enough to jump in, they were done. They didn't want to clean them up after all, just play in them. lol.
Devin ended up vacuuming them with the lawn mower and then putting them in bags to be discarded. For just one tree, it sure does take up a lot of garbage bags!

Chico in his sweater. lol. Too stinkin' cute!

Chloe holding one of the leaves. It's sideways so you can't see how big it really is.

Brayden and Madison being goofy while raking up leaves.

Such big helpers.

I hate raking! We need to do our front yard! But the leave piles sure are fun to jump in! Chico looks so cute in the sweater!
Looks like fun. I love to rake up leaves and watch as Matt jumps into them. However this year we never got around to it and because we live at the mouth of the canyon most of our leaves blew away before I even realized it.
So much fun!
