As usual the beautiful shade in the summer equals leaf racking in the fall and this fall is no exception. We did give in and buy a leaf vacuum this year and I will say I wish we had done it 6 years ago when we moved in it helps a lot. I would rake the leaves into piles and and then just vacuum them right up. It has a built in mulcher that makes 16 bags of leaves into 1. When we were done we still had 12 bags of leaves so I can only imagine how many we would have had without mulching them. But while all the work was going on the girls had a ball playing in the leaves and riding their "bikes."
It took all the day light to do the front yard I was frustrated, tired, and just plain done. The next morning I woke up to find Erin raking my leaves and Nic called to say she was on her way to help. I was a little emotional about it. Yes I am physically capable of raking leaves but I have had a hard time keeping up with everything with Matt gone all the time and still spend the time with the girls I want to. In the matter of a couple hours we had the backyard all cleaned up too. I am so grateful for the service I received it is really hard for me to ask for help but I was so grateful.
These are just a few pictures of what Hallie has been learning at preschool. She is completely excelling and loving it everyday.
