Fall Leaves

This year I have a love/hate relationship with fall leaves.

I really do love fall and I love everything about how the trees look so pretty with all the different colored leaves and the crunch of the leaves underneath your feet. 

I think it's so fun to rake the leaves in a big pile and then jump in them.

Well this year since we've been at my mom's I've bagged at least 10 huge bags of leaves. And they aren't the leaves from her front or back trees.  They are the neighbors leaves.

They have about 5 full grown poplar trees and they don't rake their leaves.

They let the wind blow them to everyone elses yard and let them rake them up.

Now don't get me wrong, I used this experience to get some exercise and let the boys help out. 

(They did a pretty good job helping me hold the bags and rake the leaves up.)

The best part was how BIG our pile of leaves were.

The boys had a blast running and jumping through them.

I had a blast watching them and of course I had to take pictures.

So, here are just a few of my favorites...
