Raking! It's never taken so long or been so fun.


We have a tremendous tree in our front lawn that spends the spring and summer full of gorgeous leaves that add beauty to the neighborhood and shade to our home. And, then in fall all the leaves drop and blanket our lawn and our neighbors. While we don't mind so much our neighbors do occaisionally grumble a little. Well, this weekend it was becoming clear it was time to get out the rakes. Of course, little C loved to help out. Above the guys get ready for the big task.
Here is his filling the leaf bag, one by one. Phew. It's hard work, which is why he soon resorted to pointing out other places we could start raking (which included our grumbly neighbor's lawn, kind of ironically).
And, eventually, taking a break to practice standing up while drinking from a sippy cup. This technique is far more difficult than setting the cup aside in order to stand up. It is, apparently, not nearly as fun or challenging for our little man.
