"i'm bored......"

.....said my 9 year old. Well I said "then you can go outside and rake leaved in the backyard". At first I had some resistance. Then he piped up and said "ok". So off the the shed we went. Got the rake. Changed shoes. I put a roast with potatoes and carrots in the oven and off we went. He didn't want me to take any pictures. I assured him I was just taking pictures of all the leaves. (not sure I pulled that one off). He did such a great job and was proud about how happy daddy would be when he got home. Then I let him go ride bikes with his friend down the street. I wish everyday was like this.............
