What a day! Jonathan slept unil 9:30, so we missed the last outdoor Stroller Rollers of the year. Instead, we strolled to the local diner for breakfast. Jonathan waved and blew kisses to all his favorite ladies...and patrons. We went to the grocery store for milk (sorry, dad!). And, then home for a nap.
We started to rake the crazy leaves, me with a rake and him with a beach rake. Mine was a bit more successful. So, when he started to melt down, I took him inside for a nap, and I came back out to finish off the leaves. To my dismay, our neighbor had her hired leaf blowers over and they finished two houses and a siesta by the time I finished our driveway and walkway. ugh. However, they were kind enough to blow one pass of the driveway and under some trees on our property line. I got some exercise in, and the weater was perfect for it. Of course, my hands are killing me now, and my feet hurt (didn't wear the right shoes for that). Not sure when the city's leaf people are scheduled to pick them up, but we could use it now.
Once Jonathan woke up, he had a late lunch. Then, we packed up to go see Iris again, this time with a double stroller in tow to see if her German car seat would fit it. Her stroller is getting repaired so she wanted to borrow ours. So, we strapped her kids in and headed off to a nearby park for a bit. We bumped into a German friend of hers too. We played until it got dark (circa 5). But, alas, the stroller is too cumbersome for her, so she opted to make a sling work. We tried.
So, back home we went to play with our Craig's List toys from yesterday. And, we picked up Dave from the train. Now we can't get in touch with the NY Hardwicks or PopPop or Vicki, so we bagged dinner with them. It was probably too late anyway. Oh well. The boys are playing, but once Jonathan is down, we might watch another movie and call it a night. Boy, my body is achin' from all that rakin'!!

Gotta love those leaves. Does Jonathan know how much fun jumping in leaf piles and scattering them is?
Good move for the Days Alive widget.
no, he doesn't. And, I tried hard to teach him how to use that rake. he even tried using mine, but that was less fun than his was. I tried having him pick one up at a time, but that didn't stick either. Maybe I'll have to throw him into a pile and see what happens. ;o)
Wait- you have a double stroller? ;-)
ack! it's from Steve/Vicky. They've passed down all their baby stuff to us. Don't get all excited, Auntie Alice!! ;o)
Doh! I meant Liz! Sorry! :o)
