Yard Work -- A Family Affair

Whew. . . is all I have to say. Yard work is going to be difficult! Fall has arrived and the leaves are falling. Brent and I decided instead of waiting until all the leaves fall we will do a little bit every week. Well, factor in our newest family member and things get tricky.

12 lawn bags, 3 hours of raking and bagging, and 1 mini-nap by Eli later our backyard is leave-free for the next 10 minutes or so. It's discouraging because when we walk out tomorrow morning it will look exactly the same as it did this morning.

Ready to start raking! Brent had the hard job of bagging everything and cleaning the pool! He also did not get to quit when Eli decided inside on the activity mat was much more fun than yard work.
