Leaves!

I am NOT a fan of yard work! But I LOVE being outside this time of the year. It is just beautiful and there is NO humidity. Woohoo!

Here in Florida, leaves do not fall in the Fall/Autumn. They fall in the late Winter (which is kinda a joke to call it Winter since it never really gets cold). It's actually more like a shedding of dead leaves since they don't turn pretty colors. So right now our yard is covered in brown crunchy leaves.

The kiddos and I decided that we wanted to see the pretty green grass so we went outside and got to work! We raked and picked up leaves for several hours and filled up 8 55 gallon garbage bags, sadly we barely made a dent in the leaves. We did have a really fun time together and lots of interesting conversation thanks to Aidman who loves to ask a million questions!

hahaha! They mostly just played in the yard while mama did the leaves! They each got a chance at raking and picking up leaves, but neither of them lasted more than 20 minutes. They are 3 and 4.
