In case you were feeling like some blog deja-vu...

We have wonderful great big oak trees in our yard that we enjoy most of the year, but every fall, we have a ridiculous amount of leaves. Ridiculous as in we have a leaf pile at the back of the yard that is taller than Bret. And that is just from the leaves collected as far as the garage. The leaves behind the garage have to fend for themselves. So, here we are, raking. Again.

Elliott helps out! He calls the rake a broom.

Elliott helps put leaves (about 5 at a time) in the bin so that Daddy can carry them to the back of the yard.

Elliott didn't want to wear his mittens, so he took them off and "hid" them in the trunks of the crepe myrtle. That's why he's wearing only one in this picture.

Cuteness.

Proud of a hard day's work. Hmmm... where is that other mitten?
