Cleaning up Fall Leaves

We have 13 trees at our house.  We have a tremendous leaf problem.  We rake and rake and rake for months.  We fill up the truck and haul them off to the dump.  We fill trash bags and put them in our cans.  They just never end.  We have found that mowing over them is an easy way to get them up.  The mower chops the leaves up and throws them into the grass catcher which makes cleaning them up easier.
If there are too many, the only thing to do is invite all the kids on the block to come over with their rakes and make the biggest pile of leaves they have ever seen.  It usually works and the kids are entertained for hours!  Take lots of pictures.  The cuteness factor goes way up on this activity!
