Finally the Leaves Fall




It is officially December and are leaves have finally fallen. We decided to rake up the mess and then play. The neighbor kids love to come too.
We had to work really hard before we played. It started out cold, but after a few minutes of hard work, I was hot. I was sore for the next couple days too :) Jeff did not want to do this again, so he tried to get all the rest of the leaves off the tree. It was not very successful.

Unfortunately, we stayed out so late with our little friends, that it was too dark to finish the job, and we still have to bag the leaves. What fun memories! I cannot wait until we have kids of our own to jump in with.

Love the picture of Jeff trying to shake the rest of the leaves off the trees :) echoed our feelings of our leaves. I can't believe how many leaves can fall off of so few trees. Looks like a fun time!

Looks like you guys had a lot of fun!! I would love to play in them, but raking and bagging them makes me glad we don't have any trees :)!!

Mandi, so I so randomly came across your blog. I hope you remember me (Mandy from freshman year at SUU, manzanita). You guys look like you are doing so good! I was actually thinking about you guys the other day, wondering where you were at. Weird.
