leaf clean up

So I started leaf clean up today, this is a picture of the front yard and as you can see from the picture of the trees not all the leaves have even fallen yet.

The kids agreed to help so that we could make trash bag spiders out of them for Halloween. Morgan and Austin helped out alot. Kaitlyn as you can see thought riding her scooter counted as helping.

These are the only two spiders we ended up making. It took us 1 hour to rake and bag the side yard and another hour to make the spiders so with the knowledge that we still had the whole front yard to do we decided we need to finish raking and bagging instead of making spiders. It was a great thought at least. Lucky for me my friend Amanda and her kids came over to help. I offered the kids $5 each to help. Morgan, Kenzie, and Hannah helped alot while Kaitlyn and KK played. Austin went back and forth between playing with the girls and running through our leaf piles.

I forgot to take an after picture when we finished because the kids were anxious to get to walmart to spend their money so I took these this morning as you can see just overnight the yard is already starting to get covered again. At least I have discovered $5 is a large motivator. Back yard still to get done and then by that time the front yard again. I am sure there will be some for Anthony when he gets back.
