This afternoon Greg and I wrangled up all the kids and headed outside to get the yard ready for winter. With all the trees on our property, we certainly had our share of leaves to rake up. Emma had a friend over and they actually accomplished a lot together. I was kind of concerned that if she had a friend that they would just goof off. However, I was pleasantly surprised :)
This is Emma dumping the leaves in the garden to be tilled into the dirt for next planting. She came up with the idea of putting the leaves in the wheelbarrow. Whatever works! I just wanted them in the garden.
More pictures of Emma and Maddie.
Josh was not too excited to be helping with the yard. He has a grumpy face and after a while he decided it was not too bad. He had the easy part...sucking up the leftover leaves with the lawnmower.
We ran out of rakes to get the leaves up, so Greg got innovative and used the snow shovel. It actually worked really well.
More pictures of the family working. Tara helped too, but I somehow did not get her in any of the pictures. The tree in this pictures definitely needs to be pruned in the spring. A little out of control... It always feels good to get the yard ready for the first snow.
