Leaf Day

The kids have "leaf day" at G & G Potts' house every year. They make a huge pile of leaves to jump in and then have a hot dog roast and s'mores afterwards. Oliver was a big help loading fire wood into his little John Deere tractor. Unfortunately later in the afternoon he was watching a neighbor kid run behind him and drove it over the bank and into the creek. Mom ended up jumping in after him. He somehow managed not to get wet. Mom, however, was not so fortunate! As you can see, he was exhausted (as was I after all the heroics) and passed out in bed later that night. Once again, mom was not so fortunate. I think it has been about 3 months since I have had one entire night of sleep. This too shall pass, right? That's what they tell me anyway :) It was a fun day and many fantastic memories were made. Grandparents are good for that, aren't they?
