Leaves, leaves, leaves. They're e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e! All Daddy does on saturdays is rake leaves. Unfortunately, according to Mommy and Daddy, I'm old enough to help out now. Daddy went shopping for a rake my size, but he couldn't find one . That should have been a clue that 2 year olds aren't supposed to be raking! But he was not deterred. He made a modification on another yard tool to make a rake my size.

Leaf Raking 101
This is me when Daddy is looking.

This is me when he's not...

I can even make a jury-rigged rake look good!

Once the leaves were raked into a pile, my job was to fill this bucket with leaves and then Mommy would dump it into the big bag-o-leaves.

If you look closely, you will see 59 bags of leaves. (Daddy did the counting.) And the trees are only about half way done losing their leaves. Anyone feel like raking? I quit!
