The Daily Grind

Kids can be so creative, you know? During her "nap time," Kaylee came up with these two surprises for me. Two Crayon banks plus some dress-up clothes makes for one fun afternoon.

Kaylee had lots of fun playing in the leaves while Chris and I were raking. Our trees aren't even the real cluprit, it's the neighbors' tree, but they don't seem to mind the grass-killing piles of leaves suffocating any chance of a green lawn next spring. So we had to rake halfway into their yard, too, to ensure the wind didn't undo all of our hard work. I considered it my workout for the day. I think that's only fair.

And this one, well, it's just cute. Two kids playing in a storage bin. It doesn't get any better.
