Make the fun of it!
With all of the leaves falling lately, I decided to make the most of it by collecting as many as I could and storing them for later use in the compost. I simply took a piece of metal fencing to create a large cylinder and dumped piles and piles of leaves in it. While doing so, the boys found so much fun in the piles of leaves. I forgot just how entertaining that is as a kid. Nonstop laughter was coming from the boys each day I raked leaves. I highly suggest you do the same (even if you don't need to store leaves). It gives you a bit of a workout while entertaining the kids outdoors.
Other outdoor fun with the boys has been lots and lots of jumping on the trampoline. Talk about a workout! It's easy to forget just how tiring the trampoline can make you. Most days after school, my middle and I have an hour outside to take care of the chickens and the garden, and we jump on the trampoline. It has been a nice way to enjoy some of the best hours of the day together. He even helped me take out the border between the young and older chickens. They are officially sleeping all together without any problems, which gives me hope for the upcoming year with my plans of expanding and growing even more. I've pulled all of the remaining summer garden plants too, and I am making plans for an expansion there as well. Stay tuned!
