The leaves come tumbling down

Fall has always been my favorite season. The cooler air is refreshing especially this year with the very hot summer! And I always enjoy the leaves turning, but now with our tree in our front yard it also mean a lot of leaf clean up :)
 The boys were actually pretty good helpers this year and were very excited to clean them up....with the hopes of making one big pile and then playing in it ;) 
 Since we only have one really good rake, we dug out the broom for the leaves in the drive-way. The boys found it was a lot easier sweeping verses raking. They did come around to the yard to put the leaves in the bags. 
 It was really fun seeing them all happy and willing to help ;) Eric and I are not sure how long the willingness to help will last so we'll take it while we can! :) 
After we got all the piles rounded up we did let them play with the one big pile that was by the tree. It was a fun little reward for all their hard work. And with their help we were able to clean up pretty quick and still have a lot of time to have some fun for the rest of our Saturday :)
