Yesterday was the most spectacular day here. It was 22 degrees, the sun was shining, the leaves were beautiful...amazing. I have a couple of chickadees that were feeding on some birdseed I had put on my back deck. I could stand really close to the seed and they would still come and pick what they liked out of it.
The kids had a ball in the leaves. They raked up a pile and were jumping into it. It amazes me though how two siblings can argue over something as insignificant as a pile of leaves. Graham and his friend Connor wanted to take the wagon with leaves over to Connors house...as much as I would love to get rid of them I don't think Janet and David would be thrilled with my delivery of leaves. As it was they shoved their shirts full of them and carried those over. They pile them on the trampoline and jump in them.
Next week there is a family dance at the school. Graham has apparently asked a girl named Emma to be his date. Connor was a little shyer and got Graham to ask his date for him. When I asked Graham what this meant, he said it didn't mean they had to dance together...just hang out. At what age does that change??
Elysia had band yesterday so Graham and Connor and I went to the school early to kick around the soccer ball. When Elysia came out we all played soccer for a while. I think Elysia can kick the ball harder in her barefeet than with her shoes on. I told her to save some of that for her game Thurs night.
