Last Friday, which may have been the last nice day of the year, we raked up our leaves. The kids were sorta' helpers... well, they tried, anyway... and they had fun. Well, Grant had fun for about .1 second before Logan and Madison thought they would have fun dropping itchy leaves on him. We started out with jackets but raking apparently burns some calories. I also discovered it's easiest to rake the leaves into a pile then push, instead of pull, them to the street. Something cool about this place: we leave the leaves on the tree-lawn and this cute, Dr. Seuss-like truck (thanks for the imagery, Melinda) comes by and sucks up the leaves.
