2009-11-1: Raking leaves with David

David wanted to 'help'G-Ma with some raking. These leaves were dry and easy to rake up as they had fallen straight down from their tree and not blown all over everywhere yet. they quickly made a large tall pile.

The great 'raker'. Often one can hear, "I do it!"

He loved falling back into the leaves

"Hi, Dat one"!

(That is our names for now.)

He loved diving into the leaves and hiding

"OK, I'll stop moving so you can take my picture!"

G-Pa let him help put leaves into the paper bags for disposal & pick-up.

12 bags plus the brown garbage can

The brown garbage can was also full.

Then David got placed in it to push down the leaves

only then he thought it was fun to play

Afterwards was bath time...!

2009-10-31: David--" Trick or Treat"

David and his Daddy came to G-Ma's house for the evening as Mom had to work. G-Ma got to go with to go Trick or Treat while G-Pa manned our doorbell at home. David is in his "Ruffy" outfit as he calls it rather than 'puppy' outfit!

walking down our street..
After walking a ways around our neighborhood (less than 2 blocks) he sat down at this house but quickly got up to 'ring' the doorbell to get more candy when he was reminded what to do...maybe a little tired of walking?! When back at our house he played with the candy but didn't eat any. He really doesn't eat candy--his parents don't give candy to him. I think he likes chips better!!!

After getting home we enjoyed some chili over white rice and topped

with cheese. Yummy!! Warmed us up too!
