Raking Leaves

Friday we went over to Randy's mom and dad's to see what help they need in the kitchen and the boys were kind of in the way. SO I suggested to Clay that he might ask Grandpa how much I would be worth to him if Clay and Tyler raked the leaves up in the front yard. Grandpa said he would give them each Five dollars. I helped them get the rakes and off they went. An hour later I went to see how they were doing and Clay had a couple of big piles and poor Tyler had little piles, so I helped Tyler get a big pile. Then Grandma came out to See how they were doing and they wanted to know where they should put the leaves, she got the swimming pool and an garbage can and a tote. Then Grandma got the pitch fork out and was throwing the leaves in the pool. Once clay saw this he wanted to do it and the Tyler to so Grandma had to get another pitch fork out.




Then Grandpa came to see how they were doing and they had the pool the can and the tote full of leaves and they need to know where to put it so he helped them carry the pool over to his truck and they dumped them in. By the time they were finished the truck was full of leaves.





It took them about 3 hours to do it. So they got there five dollars each.





Then I took them to Game Crazy to by game cube games they had them on sale 4 for ten dollars so they each were able to get 2.

It was the perfect project for them to do so they wouldn't be in the way in the house.

Great job boys!!
