Yard work.

Really, we are quite behind on the yard work this year but we’ve been so busy enjoying fall & Cory’s been getting in quite a bit of duck/pheasant/goose hunting – some less important things always get left behind. We have quite a few maple trees in our front yard that are beautiful in the fall but make quite a mess when it comes time for the leaves to fall. We took advantage of the nice weather & took Sunday afternoon to get some outside work done. I cleaned up & organized the boys’ outdoors toys (which are coming to an end of being played within the next month or so) and Cory & the boys made the first pass of raking up leaves in the front yard. I’m not sure if the boys were more help or hurt – helping daddy rake up leaves & then running through the pile, causing daddy to have to re-rake quite a few times!

Their favorite part was when he hooked up the little wagon to the 4-wheeler and let them ride along while he picked up the leaf piles. They thought that was the coolest thing & really didn’t want to get out after all the leaves were picked up.

Don’t worry boys – you’ll have plenty more opportunities to help daddy out this year…and years to come!

All packed up & ready to go.
