Fall Clean-up

The only problem with having seasons (well, there is probably more than just one problem in my book but that's a whole other post) is that they require lots of hard work, shoveling snow for instance. And in the fall after all the pretty leaves change colors they fall, off the trees, to the ground, and they don't go away by themselves- pesky little things. And while I found raking leaves the first year lots of fun, like a fun fall activity, all picturesque, you know, the charm I once felt has worn off a bit. Like how the beauty of freshly fallen snow turns to yucky, black, slushy mess. So, it's a good thing I have kids now so I can make them do most of the work- ha,ha. Anyway, here's a few pics of them having fun with FALL!

Man, holding this bag is hard work!

Who knew that a snow shovel could be so versatile?

How fun for the kids to play in the leaves. Life is so much better when you are a kid. You get to enjoy the simple things in life and you have so much less to worry about.

Now, did they get raked up and then jumped in only to have to be raked up again. Because you know that is the only way to have so much fun again and again. :) I think it would be cool to have seasons but am not sure about the snow season.
