Do not laugh! This is how us lazy folks rake our leaves.....actually....we hand the children the rakes....and Bryan grabs the leaf blower....
It got done in record time though.....and here is a play by play of some sweet moments the kids had.
Moments in time.
We all need a few of these.

{oh...and btw...i think i broke my scale this morning....i am totally serious...}

Love the pictures! I showed Luke and he said, "That's what they're made for." He likes the kind that sucks them up and shreds them. I guess we're "lazy folks" too.
Whatever it takes for a little fun!
those pics are precious. The kids look like they are having a blast! Thanks for checking out my blog! I really appreciate it!
I love these pictures Kasey ~ they are truly cherished moments...
So cute! Please send em all over to my yard soon! Actually, I could seriously use one of those electric(?) leaf blowers... what kind do you have? it looks easy to use.
How cute! As the kids were jumping into that pile..so was I. I love that about Fall..we did that with our kids too...such fun! (me too with the scales!) Come say hi :D
Super cute pics! Looks like you almost lost your little guy in that pile!
We only have a few leaves :(
Now, long leaf pine needles, those we have!
aww, i LOVE those pictures! it is moments/pictures like that when i miss living in Virginia! Enjoy the season!!!
ps-i FOR SURE broke mine too...my idea last night was to eat as much chocolate as i could in hopes of being turned off by it today......DIDN'T WORK!
now that's what fall is all about!!!
Such beautiful pics...one of the things I miss in my house growing up were the trees that lost sooo many leaves...just beautiful moments...LOVE it!
And Kasey...my dear...seriously doubt you broke the scale...
"Cherished moments" is THE perfect term for these pics!!! What kid doesn't dream of taking a running leap into a huge pile of leave??? :)
Hey... you told me I had to watch out for leaf worms! How did the kids fare? ;)
Great, great post! Good times!

Love these pics!

wish we were experiencing fall...in the 80's today...looks like fun though. jules
My kids actually LIKE raking leaves. Go figure. haha I am actually borrowing my mom's leaf blower to finish up ours. We have so many!
Hahaha I've never thought of raking that way..good idea! :)
I love the pictures of the kids, so cute!
I am impressed!!! much more work than my hubbie puts in.... He lets the kids rake one pile to jump in, and then he mows it all up!!! Looks like so much fun!!!

I could almost smell the leaves looking at your photos. Thanks!
Hugs from Florida (where I actually wish I had some of those leaves!)

Too funny I could so see my hubby doing the very same thing :)
being in sunny socal - i'm so in LOVE with these shots.
what fun memories you've made for your kiddos!
so fun....xoxoxo
These photos are CLASSIC! ...like out of a movie. What fun. :)
Love those heads poking out of the leaves. And a happy fall to you!
Kirsten
Oh Kasey, these photographs are brilliant....you have captured the fun of playing in the Autumn leaves so well......and I just love your last comment...you have such a natural talent for humour. XXXX
I think few things call to a child the way a pile of leaves does.
gorgeous photos!
susan
I remember doing that as a kid, so much fun!!
I HIGHLY doubt you broke your scale, I've SEEN your tiny clothes! :)
so cute!
the kids too
winkwink
How fun. I remember those moments with my kids when they were small.
We have pics too. They are cherished now. I love the two following quotes...and take them to heart, now that my four "kids" are 16 to 22 years old, and starting to leave the nest.
"Remember the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the Big Things."
"We do not remember days, we remember MOMENTS..."
Love to visit your blog and see your photos. :-)
Leaf piles are my kids favorite part of fall! Looks like y'all had a great time! Sorry about the scale. sigh.
lovely photos...the kiddos look like they have a fabulous time. ;o) ~mary~
Great pics Kasey...we don't have enough leaves to rake here. Guess my kids are missing out ;) We just collect acorns from the oak trees. Looks like loads of fun!
Well of course a leaf blower!!! Is there any other way?!?!? Thank God for leaf blowers!
I wanted to see a picture of you jumping in the leaves! Seriously though....these are so cute :)
Jumping into a big pile of leaves...oh what joy:) Priceless pictures!
{And I'll bet you did not break your scale}
yep, that's how we rake and sweep....the garage and shop, not the house...but maybe i need to adapt that approach.
beautiful pics, but where is the shot of the scale?
sounds like you need some good farm-cooking Kasey.........
anytime you want to come out for dinner!
what age is your daughter? mine are 10 and 5.......
Wonderful pictures! Now this is what happy kids look like!
thats my hubby's kind of raking.... is there any other kind!! LOL oh the sweet memories of leaves.... precious! seriously i want to jump right along with them.
xo,
LuLu
Great pics! Looks like your kiddos had a blast! Happy week to you! :)
Smiles,
Rachel
I have a very tiny tree in my front yard with about 30 leaves and no children so I probably could not pull that off huh? Big SMILE! Looks like fun!
Well Bryan is looking like Mr. Leafblower stud man!!
The kiddos are pretty darn cute too!!!
:) T
Now that's the right way to enjoy some leaves! Ours were all wet and slippery and gross and I actually shoveled them into bags -- ick!
Have a great week!
Janet
Great pictures! Your kids are so adorable!
As Rick was raking our leaves yesterday, the sound of a leaf blower could be heard over on the next street and I said "honey, do you hear that? that, my dear is the sound of a man whose wife adores him and bought him a leaf blower"...ha ha ha...I really do adore my Rick....anyways the kids are too cute as always...what fun jumping in the leaves!!
I could use a leaf blower...we don't even have any trees but our lawn is still covered in them. I'd like to blow them back on our neighbors' lawns. Just kidding...sorta.
awesome!
I was just noticing that the lawn service from across the street blows their leaves into our yard... I'm thinking that gives us a bye on both raking and blowing!
Might be worth it though for these priceless pics.
Love these photographs Kasey- and the leaf blower- too funny!
I have always wanted to jump in a pile of leaves like that but I grew up in California and that opportunity has never presented itself :(
I was just thinking back to doing this as a child - the crunchy leaves, the dusky smell, my dad being patient....Jennifer
gorgeous photo's my friend..just gorgeous.
Bethie
Ahhh...nothing like jumping into a bed of fresh rakes leaves.
We have you beat...paid the neighbor kid last Saturday to get the leaves off of our {small} front yard. With a blower....
