The moment I knew we were going to buy our home is when I was standing in the back yard. There were trees, there was a place to run, I was sold. We have enjoyed the back yard since, it was perfect. The kids have read out on the hammock, played with friends in the back, and just run to their hearts content. They have seemed to love it even more in the fall. My kids love raking leaves. I think it is because we let them play in them after.
On Friday we pulled up from school and I asked "who wants to rake leaves" the three older ones started screaming "me, me, me" "wait, can we all do it" Knowing we would have an abundance of leaves we bought a few more rakes the weekend before, I told the kids they could all rake and off they ran to get to work.
About an hour later they called me out to see the pile that was almost as tall as Eve and then the playing started.
Matty wasn't quite sure how he felt about the huge pile of leaves.
He even made a break for it when ever we could.
Yes all four kids are in there.
I have decided that James could be a participant in The Hunger Games he gets that blending down rather well.
And of course once he did it the others wanted to try.
The kids had a great time and then went away for the weekend. When they got home this morning I showed them what happened on Sunday....
Their response? "Sweet, when can we rake again?"
