It is that time of year where we have one million leaves to rake and only a small period of time in which the city stops by to suck them up for removal. Thankfully this year we have extra helpers with the leaves!
Our lovely Maya Papaya - is ready to rake and having a good time.
Sammy - well I think he likes the job of supervisor - notice that he does well holding the rake and assessing the situation!
Mary - she just likes to play with the leaves - throw them up in the air.
Pia - well - she just likes to inspect the leaves.
I have just realized that with the additional help (supervisor, thrower and inspector), we are quite possibly in a large amount of trouble and wonder if there is a magic wand to make the leaves disappear?
After all the hard work was done - we tried our hardest to throw all the children in the leaves and take a cute group picture. Our resident photographer was out doing homework with friends - so amateur "mom" had to try to be creative. So, after three attempts - I said "f*#K it" and so here is what you get!
My lovely assistant "DAD" was standing to my right trying to get everyone's attention - I am screaming at him "just clap - be loud - yell at them - something" - yeah - well forget it! That did not seem to work! So, I am trying to use my free hand to "snap" to get them to look up together! And then - right before "I said f*#K it"- It dawned on me that we are dealing with 4 untamed autumn souls - who are being ONE with nature. And there was no way in HELL that we were going to get any results.
Nature 1
Parental Units 0
Okay - so we lost.
We will be back!
The funny part of it - is that they slept like the dead and here is the morning scene:
Pia -
"seriously - try to get me out of this bed!"
Mary-
"holy shit that light is bright"
Sammy -
"can we play in the leaves again???"
All in a days work.
I seriously do not remember how quiet our lives used to be!
Love to all
Zoltan OUT!
