All these beautiful leaves on the maple tree in front of our house came down suddenly this week. It made a pretty carpet all over the grass and sidewalk. I sent the kids out to rake (play in) the leaves.



After much hard work, they came up with a really big pile. They look like they got big muscles workking so hard, don't they? Come see our big pile, Mom!



Ha ha! Alex is in the middle of the pile. After that, each kid had to take a turn being buried in leaves. Now, if I can just get them to actually rake UP the leaves into bags, my lawn can breathe.
