A couple of weeks ago all of our leaves fell off the trees in our backyard. Jonathan very vividly, and quickly, remembered how much fun it was to play in the pile of leaves last year. He begged and begged and begged to go outside and jump into a pile of leaves. Unfortunately, I was fairly sick for a few days and Chris was out of town... so Jonathan waited to patiently. As soon as dad walked in the door from his business excursion he was out the door again with the kids raking leaves for them to play in. They had a good two days of jumping and playing until Chris bagged them up! It's the small things in life that makes our kids so happy.
The kids waiting so patiently for Daddy to finish raking:
They loved jumping off the wall into the pile of leaves. Dangerous?? Probably. But, no one got hurt.
The next day the pile continued to grow with Chris raking the entire yard.
And yes, Jonathan did pull out his helmet- just to be safe in jumping off the wall- and his fishing pole. And another yes, he did jump off the wall with his fishing pole in hand- several times. Dangerous? probably. Again, no one got hurt. But, were they ever happy!
