Holy Jeez Fall Leaves!

Tree leaves around here are no joke...and emaculate yards even during the falling leaf season seem to be a requirement.  Especially in our case, with a landlord for an immediate neighbor.  Oh, And he's the one who sets the bar that all other neighbors measure themselves by (ugh, sigh, etc...).  It certainly helps that he has lawn maintenance that seems to come every week and vacuum his leaves/grass (yes, that's the what the machine looks like. Or better yet, it looks like a minature zamboni, with a suck-button).  Needless to say, this SAHM and her two toddlers are no match; however, we put up a mean fight on the weekends when Nate's home.  Now that guy is a machine! He doesn't suck like the mini-zamboni, but he's a serious raker!

 

So after the girls rough housed in the leaves for hours on end, including running through our just raked piles!  They came inside tuckered our like I've never seen before.  Hence the crazy, exhausted napping positions they found...

You can't see it, but Olivia is standing with her head on my lap--sleeping!
