Catch Up

Sort of. There's not really much to catch up on, but here are some fun things I've learned in the last little while.

LEAH'S HAIRCUT(E)!

I took Leah in to get her haircut about a week ago. Definitely a cute style, but a terrible experience.

After looking at the chair she would sit in, Leah jumped back into my arms and climbed up my chest. She ended up with her knees on my shoulders. Oh and there was a lot of screaming too, A LOT! Of course as soon as we left the building Leah stated, "I like a new haircut!" As if I hadn't just finished holding her down in the chair while immobilizing her head. Ha!
She does look adorable though.

RAKING LEAVES
I enjoy raking leaves. It's relaxing and terribly rewarding. I also learned some new things about our house.

Thing one: I found a bird's nest in our front yard aspen tree. No birds, of course, but I liked the idea that some cute little birds enjoyed that tree as much as I do. Maybe they'll come back to it in the spring.
Thing two: We have a raspberry bush in our front yard! Woo Hoo! You cannot imagine the joy I felt at finding that plant. Oh yes, and all those delicious looking raspberries you see - GONE! I love love love fresh raspberries.

Thing three: I also have a pine tree or something (it looks more pine BEARING to me than anything) in our front yard. To keep or not to keep, that is the question. I probably won't keep it, I don't think it will look good there all alone after I rip out the rose bushes in the spring.

Thing four: I still have all of this to rake. (Deep breaths) I know, I know I better get to it... it's supposed to rain this week.
