The only part I am not really fond of is raking leaves. We have a lot of trees on our property, and a lot of trees mean a lot of leaves. I had my kids out raking last week. All 5 of them helped and they got a lot done! Here are some pics to show what I mean when I say we have a lot of leaves.
D.J. worked so hard!
Jon helped too
Ally even helped - instead of directing. (-:
Ryan was smart and wore his dad'safety glasses
Cole was the smartest though, she used the leaf blower!
So many leaves that it was easier to shovel them!
Then the real fun began - Jumping in the leaves. D.J. took this picture
Jon took this picture of him and Al
Cute 12 year old!
Brothers are the best!
We ended up with 19 bags full of leaves.
And there are still leaves on the trees.................
I talked to my supervisor this morning. Half of the balloons are gone. He doesn't think they are going to take down the rest of the balloons until the gas leaves and the start to deflate. So, he is going to move all the balloon bridges to the North side of the theatre since the employee entrance is on the South side. So hopefully I can go to work tonight - although - it has been nice to have a few days off. He also said that if my allergies start to act up that I can leave. He has no problem with that at all. Thankfully I have tried to be a good employee. I try not to ever be late, I don't call in sick, I have only ever taken 5 days off in 6 months and I gave plenty of notice each time. So I hope they know that I am not flaking out on them, just a victim of my own body. Dang Allergies!
MY GRATITUDE LIST:
1. kids who like rake leaves - selfish, I know!
2. music - makes any job go faster!
3. socks - my feet are always cold, so I love my socks
4. games - I love playing 'em
5. hugs - they work more miracles than anything I know of!
