Raking Leaves in March???

On Saturday we took advantage of the beautiful weather to finish raking leaves that we never got to last fall before the snow came. After spending some time with Grandma, Megan came home to take a nap and woke up refreshed to help us with the clean up. We only have 2 rakes so Megan is using a broom to push the leaves around.
Monkey see, monkey do!
"Oh, got to get the leaves over here now."
Once Megan saw the box of bags she was obsessed with them. She would pull a bag out and walk it over to the trash can and then would try with all her might to put the new bag inside. When I told her, "No, we don't need a new bag yet." She would drop that bag and walk over to the box to get another bag out. Repeat this 6 times until finally the box was empty. Once it was empty she then figured out how to open the bag ever so slightly and began to put leaves in one at a time. It was very cute!
Just proof that she got in her 15 minute break! Nothing like some water and blueberries to help get some strength back.

Crazy time with weather all around. Love that Megan enjoys helping outside just as much as she enjoys playing.
