My Task Today...


This is what awaited me this morning. I was determined to get the yard raked for Randy because by the time he gets home and we eat dinner it's dark so he can't mow...and I don't really trust myself with the riding lawn mower.

...Needless to say, I did not get the entire yard raked. I didn't even get a fourth of it raked. Between my being totally overwhelmed by the gazillion leaves and the kids begging me to take them to the playground it was kind of a lost cause. However, I did get the flower beds cleaned out. Yeah, they were covered in leaves so I did accomplish something. And the kids got to play in the big pile of leaves I was able to make from the flower beds...


Can't quite tell if they are playing or fighting...
I think Hailey "thinks" she is playing but Caleb thinks otherwise...


Jumping in the leaves!


If it looks like this one ended badly...
It's because it did...

But all is well now!

  1. My sweet daughter-in-law,
    I have raked that same yard a gazillion times through the years. It is indeed a formidable task....and it ended up the same way for me as it did for you. Piles of leaves with piles of kids jumping in them. Who needs a playground? That yard has provided lots of entertainment for lots of kids, including your husband, for lots of years.
    So, are you asking Santa for a leaf blower this year? LOL I love you, Tammy
