Those who have known us for some time are aware of the fact that the Mrs. loves to
rake leaves. She also drools over new "toys" for yard work. Meet our rake, the Union Tools
26" Wet-n-Dry Leaf Rake. To learn more of its specs. click here.

Needless to say, yet stated anyway, we raked leaves this week. This time 'round,
we've decided to announce this annual event via the world wide web (aka, this blog). In addition,
we've compiled a short "checklist" for those preparing themselves to take on this feat (really,
it will probably serve as a reminder for what we should do next year).
Without further adieu, here goes!
......
1. Buy rake. (Not only was this rake super cool, it was also one of the least expensive.
Thank you Big Box, member only, Superstore for your reasonable prices and free food samples.)
2. Rake leaves 
3. Allow son to play in leaves, while raking (er, throwing) them into the pile. Like this:
4. Let son jump out of tree onto leaf pile. (Dear Grandparents: your precious
progeny was not injured during this activity.)
5. Allow daughter an opportunity to play in the leaves.
6. Try again next year.7. Bag leaves. We used the only bags we had: 13 gallon kitchen bags. Note: next year, buy
larger bags so we don't end up using a dozen kitchen bags.
8. Take a moment to watch the kiddies play.
9. Take a mental or tangible picture of a bare tree. Bye, bye leaves! See you in the Spring!
Josh and I looked at the Wet/Dry rake as a possibility. However, our tree is only 7 ft tall with a couple handfuls of leaves. We decided on just the free food samples that day. :) Looks like you had a fun Halloween!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like fun! Raking leaves is so much more entertaining with kids running around jumping in them! I love the picture of Brayden playing with all of them.
