We took the day literally this morning. When I went out to work on the yard I found our wandering two year old neighbor boy in the back yard. He was wearing one jeweled sandal on one foot and a bright pink croc on the other.
I took a picture for proof.
This was my big raking accomplishment. I was dripping in sweat by the time the yard was in neat little leaf piles. I thought I had helped Tom out so much by raking the leaves for him.
Then he came with the lawn mower to the backyard and I realized that he was mowing them up instead of picking them up. He assured me over and over that the raking really did help and make it easier for him, despite the fact he had never planned to rake, but to just mow them all. Nice.
And I worked really hard.
Want proof?
My new nasty blister. After my yard work I decided it was time to cut the boys hair. It's been growing out all summer and was becoming completely unmanageable. I made the decision on Friday when I picked Talin up from school. It was humid outside and he was walking towards me and his hair was sticking straight up. It was as if he took his hands through it and because he was all sweaty it just stayed in an upright position. I knew it had to be cut. And he was very obliging to the suggestion.
Here are the before pictures.
Here are the before pictures.
And here are the after.
And I couldn't help but put this in. Caleb and his dinner.

The bejeweled neighbor boy picture is hilarious!
And the very last one is priceless. His food is almost as tall as he is! What a sweet baby.
The boys are all cute. I love the one of Caleb with his dinner. :) You do such a great job with your boys' hair. I'm about to give up. I don't feel like I'm doing a good job. I need some tips. How do you make it look OK? I mean, I like to cut the back and sides short but leave the top a little longer. I like to spike Marshall's hair. :) Do you use the clippers for their hair the whole time?
Raking. Such an endless job. Our last home's backyard was solid trees. It seemed like I raked for days--I know what you mean!
Good job on the haircuts! Thankfully, Alan does Spencer's hair. (And we'll just leave it that way!)
Cute Caleb--hope he's doing well!
I wasn't expecting a post from you when I clicked here, but it's a welcome surprise! Your blister is nasty, but your leaf piles are lovely work. I do such an awful job on my boys' hair that I've given it up. I love the pic of Caleb with his feeding tube. He's adorable.
