I heart macro Sunday

I am always amazed at how a 4 year old will view "chores" as fun and exciting things to do. My husband and I have been watching the leaves fall and dreading their removal. The kiddo, on the other hand, has been anxious to help us rake like she did last year.  Well, maybe "help" isn't quite the right word.  Her help usually looks like this:


We spent the better part of the day in the yard.  I have to admit, the kiddo and I didn't do too much of the work.  My husband, however, did amass a big pile of leaves.  It was so big, in fact, I thought we would lose the kiddo.


While my husband was raking, I was snapping away.  I was impressed by one leaf that didn't want to leave the tree.


Our trees do look a bit bare now.  I hope the leaves still hanging on won't amount to much. 


And while I'm talking about leaves, I have to show you my favorite picture of our little dogs.  They really look like they are having fun.
