Leaves, Leaves Everywhere!

The kids had fun playing in the leaves with their friends Timmy and Katie. We have a HUGE tree that covers our whole house and so Ben refuses to rake leaves, so instead he mows them over (we would probably have to rake them every other day so lazy me supports the mowing). We did however talk him into raking them into a pile so that the kids could play...he had to borrow a rake from the neighbors, hes so anti-raking he wont even buy one. So this is what you get when you turn the kids loose in random piles of leaves in the yard...
There was lots of throwing and rolling around


The boys buried themselves
Which inspired Pais to bury herself as well

Miss Katie jumped in them so much she was tuckered out and needed a nap


Timmy caught onto my camera obsession and paused for a cute pic


THEN...Big Brother Daven showed up and thought he was way too cool to get in on our fun soooo we tackled him and DOG PILE! No children were injured in the process do not worry I did not lay all my fattiness on the 9 yr old


If your bored come rake our leaves...the driveway is missing from being covered in them...we'll even let ya jump in them...free of charge ;) O and Julia thanks for letting me torture your kids!

That looks like our backyard! Will has not raked our leaves either, but it makes for a lot of fun for the kiddos.

Cute pictures! What's kind of funny is that if we were living in any other part of the world you would have made that posting about 2 months ago... shouldn't we have snow yet??

Cute pics! Sounds like a fun time and good way to entertain the kiddos. Can't see any leaves in my yard as we have about 16 inches of snow.

Fun!! I wish we had trees here big enough for leaves!

I was thinking the same thing as Victoria :), except that I am very happy that we had 75 degree weather on Christmas and that there is no snow.
