Fall equals Fun

Part of Wordless Wednesday

In yesterday’s post I told you how to get your kids to rake the yard by telling them you will use to leaves to make a photo of them. Here is one of Lindsey after all of her hard work with the rake.

I found a way to get the kids to rake the leaves in the yard. It might not work on all kids, but if you have a teenage daughter that enjoys having her picture taken, you might be in luck.

Here is how it went for me. I looked out the window and said “Hey, if you go out there and rake those leaves in a big pile, I could take some cool pictures of you in them.”

Lindsey looked at me and said “Really!” to which I replied “sure.”

Here is the proof, Lindsey hard at work raking the yard. I’m a super genius (insert evil laugh here).

Living in a house full of females, I’m used to being asked questions about hair color, nail polish color and shoe selection. I try to stay away from the clothing selection, unless it’s about a short dress (my dad duties is to approve all dress lengths). I did help pick out Lindsey’s new hair color. Jamie and Kathryn looked at the 400 different hair colors on the shelf at the store and brought me two to pick from. I’m just doing my part to help the ladies in my live look their best, just another one of the great things about being a dad.

Even pet tortoises need a Halloween costume.
