While we were in Arkansas, we got to help rake the yard! Something few Utahns (especially near where we live, in a newer development) get to experience every fall.
Vincente loved helping rake the leaves. Teach them to work hard while they're young!
The "babies," as I call them, were such good helpers. For the first little while, they loved helping bag the leaves... then they mostly liked helping spread the pile out so we could rake it back up again. Precious children. They sure had fun!
At first, Vincente was kind of nervous of the leaves. He has always loved walking in the leaves, hearing the crunching sound, but he has never seen so many HUGE leaves all in one place. So it took a little bit of getting used to, but once Grandma Pam showed him how to do it, throwing leaves was a breeze! And he even got brave enough to be buried up to his waist in leaves - though I'm not sure his face shows how excited he was, he really did enjoy it!
And here is a picture of Vincente standing in the leaves with his adorable cousin, Kaylynn. She is exactly like Vincente (as far as personality goes). I think she is a very acurate projection of what three year old Vincente will be like. They had a blast playing together, even if they did bug each other to tears sometimes. Cute cute kids. It was really fun to see Vincente playing with his Werner cousins. I'm glad my brother found a "ready-made" family ;) That way Vince doesn't have to be the only kid his age on the Werner side. He has TWO cousins his age!!
Oh, and if you're wondering why Karynn is not in this picture... we tried to coax her into standing in the leaves with the other two, but when she discovered that she was going to be buried in the leaves, she freaked out and didn't want anything to do with it. I actually have a picture of her sitting with her mom next to the two in the picture above, but she didn't look very happy, so I decided to spare her and leave that part out. She is in the video of the babies running through the leaves (which I will upload later).
Hey! I am so excited to be in the Rowley loop now! i read blogs religiously, so having one to read that actually gets updated more than once a month is going to be amazing for me!
