The Dudes (#1 & #2) were at school.
I was at the doctor.
Dude #3 and Dumb Dad were at home putting in work on the yard.
Raking, raking, raking the millions of leaves that fall from our not-really-all-that-many trees into our yard each autumn.
Except for when they weren’t, because they were playing.
I came home to find two bags of leaves on my curb and three hundred and thirty thousand still strewn around my yard.
Along with one super big boy filled pile.
The only thing that makes raking worth it!
Have a beautiful/funny/perfect photo to share, but just have to use words to describe it?

We are so super happy to have you and I love sharing my faves on Twitter every week too, so look out for a shout out!
Definitely a must for any childhood, mucking in the leaves! Admittedly, I’m still known to take a tumble in them myself lol! Happy WW!
:-))
My kids love playing int he leaves too. The year they made a big pile and played in it and they never got picked up. Then we got a huge 3 day wind storm and they all got blown away.
Raking leaves at our house always involves a child getting buried. Always>
Love it. We need to get our leaves together and throw the girls in it!
Love the pic. Awesome capture!!
Happy WW!
That wink is too much!
I love it! LOL, brings back such fun memories! I have my post linked to yours. the word ‘wordful’ when clicked will bring people here. thanks!
Oh fun! I feel your pain. We have (had I should say) a ton of leaves in our yard. But now as shown in my wordless wednesday, leaves are no longer an issue. Thankfully we got the chance to play in them while we could! :)
Awesome picture!!! I miss Autumn… We have summer year round… No Falling leaves, no cooler weather, no snow… I dont miss the snow, but I miss everything else about Autumn!
My favorite part of fall! You captured it beautifully.
I certainly don’t miss the leaf raking since living in FL. But I do miss the 4 seasons. Soooo adorable! The smile is priceless!
My post today is leafy too! SO much fun!
Awww, you could tell that he’s really enjoying himself by that smile on his face. :)
That is such a fun photo. I just took some photos of my kids disappearing into the leaf pile the other day! I think I’m letting my guard down. I don’t usually let them do that….but I figured we didn’t have pets so what the heck and they REALLY wanted to go in!
Happy Wednesday!
Aww! What a great picture! The ONLY thing cool that can come from that many leaves strewn about everywhere. That and coloring the patterns of the leaves on the paper. Happy WW!
What a fun picture. Our neighborhood is still too young to have enough leaves to even rake.
That is so cute!!!!
How fun! That was the best part about “helping” rake leaves as a kid :)
Oh my he is just TOO CUTE! Let’s set him up with Sadie!
What a cute photo! Kids seem to love jumping in leaves. Mine certainly do.
Can’t rake leaves without getting pictures of kids having fun playing in them – love it! :)
What a fun shot! Playing in the leaves is definitely an autumn rite of passage.
Love it! Our yard is full of fabulously crunchy brown leaves right now, and I can’t wait to pile them up this weekend and jump in them! That’s the only fun part of raking!
I so don’t have any leaves like that….I can’t even bury my foot in leaves at my house! I miss that!
It looks so fun being in a pile of leaves. Happy WW
Yes, That totally makes raking worth it! I am jealous you are having a fall!
How absolutely precious! What are these leaves and fall you speak of? ;-)
We miss out on a lot of this leaf activity (and beauty) here in Tallahassee. But in return we also miss out on shoveling snow, mittens, and trying to drive on ice. Guess it’s worth it but I miss all that fall foliage! Enjoyed your pic.
I love the leaves! That is an awesone picture! Somehow it doesn’t work the same with palm fronds…
This kind of makes me glad we chopped down all of the big trees in our yard. Because I dread raking. Although that picture? Pretty perfect.
SUPER PRECIOUS!!!
Makes me sad to remember when my little man was that tiny, he had all those curls too! :(
Hope your day is blessed-xo
You are lucky. We had a HUGE wind storm that blew all of our fun leaves away so, no pile pictures this year.
LOVE that pic! That really is the only great thing about raking leaves – the kid piles. ;)
What a sweet picture! He looks soooo happy.
Isn’t it crazy how many leaves you can get with not that many trees?
This is SUCH a great shot!
The best part about raking is jumping in the leaves and then having someone else come and clean it all up. ;)
Nothing like a buried in the leaf pile photo!
We dont have anywhere to do this at our apartment, looks like he is having a blast tho!
my daughter is loving all the leaves on the ground. My last WW post was her playing in leaves. :) Makes you just want to wrap up a box of leaves for them for christmas this year, doesn’t it?
I love the mixture of different kinds of leaves but I especially like seeing the joy of the little one, center-front. We have palm trees, oak trees and avocado trees here.
Cheers from California!

What adorable pictures! Loving your blog. I am new to wordful Wednesday
So much fun! Great shot!
I love that photo of no. 3 in the leaves. We don’t really have any trees that makes lots of leaves in our yard. Of course that also means we don’t have to rake.
now that looks like fun!
wish we had leaves…
oh, apartment living :)
We take a similar picture of our kids every Fall. It reminds me of ET, except with leaves, not toys.
My kids have been having a blast in the leaves too. I just love this time of year. As you already know. ;)
I love it! I need to get mine on the ball with raking them up too so we can have leaf fun too!
He’s such a cute boy!
He’s definitely having a blast! My son was asking the other day when there will be enough leaves to rake and jump in. We live in the South. It’s gonna be a while yet…
So cute! A magical WW to you! Technical ? I can not seem to get your button to show in my post, any thoughts?
I love this time of year… that shot is perfect to capture fall!
