We have lots of leaves in our back yard! And most of the trees aren’t even bare yet! Having kids to play in the leaves make raking them much more enjoyable. Ethan has had a great time running and jumping in the piles and throwing them all over the place. Lucas, on the other hand, is deathly afraid of them! I plopped him in the big pile, he was ok for about 30 seconds, Ethan started throwing leaves at him and it was all over! He screams his head off if a leaf even comes close to him. Poor kid.
Samuel has a new room!! Well, it’s a shared room, but at least he has a corner now!
I’m not sure our youngest, Samuel, is going to make it to his first birthday. I think our daughter is trying to get rid of him. I think she loves him, she talks to him and about him often. But she has also done things to make us think otherwise. When he is in his swing she likes to push it beyond what it was meant to go. She likes to poke his eyes. She threw his favorite pacifier into the garbage disposal (unknown to Erin until she ran it). She has picked him up and dropped him repeatedly (and tried to pick him up many other times). She has taken his blanket, covered his face with it and laid on him. She has put a marble, a pretzel, a piece of pizza, and other things into his mouth. I’m just not sure if Samuel is going to make it because his older sister is out to get him.
This is Ethan’s way of saying this room is off limits for Alayna. Now every door in our house, even Alayna’s own room, has this sign. Even the outside doors. It’s Alayna’s catch 22 - can’t go in, can’t go out.
We went to the Midwest Homeschool Convention in Cincinnati a couple weeks ago. It was crowded!! Besides the fact that they scheduled the conference to begin at the exact same time as opening day for the Cincinnati Reds (~10,000 convention goers + ~40,000 baseball fans = no available parking + lots of frustration!) it was a nice trip. Samuel enjoyed the big bed, Erin and I took the floor. ;)
When your Daring Child is also your Clumsy Child that child will invariably be your Injury-Prone Child.

Poor kid, now he will be traumatized forever! He won’t be able to walk near a tree in the fall the rest of his life! Such a mommy! :O)
Dad & I were just talking about that the other day when we went for a walk. How much our kids loved the leaves and we would bury them and we only had ONE tree. Oh, my you will be raking for quite a while.
