Today’s Activity:
You know all those leaves on your lawn are driving you crazy so have the kid’s help you take care of that today. Rake up all the leaves and then let the kids jump in them! Once you are done put them in garbage bags to through them out. Last year we did this the day before the garbage man came so we put the leaves directly into the garbage can. Max thought it was a great adventure to climb into the garbage can and smooch down the leaves with is feet.
Note:
One of my fondest memories of my dad was going up to the State Capitol Building (he worked there) and raking up HUGE piles of leaves and jumping in them. I remember thinking that he was the grounds keeper or something and that’s what he did for work. Not true though, he was a lawyer.
Evaluate:
I wasn’t able to do this yesterday because it snowed here. I’m hopeful that the weather is better today so we can get some of those leaves raked up. If you have snow then have the kids help you shovel. I added these pictures of my children doing this two years ago. Also, on Monday my kids decided to play in the leaves and jump on the tramp that was covered in leaves. I hope these pictures inspire you to get outside and have some fall fun with your kids.
