This weekend we finally took our bicycle trailer for a spin through Saluda Shoals (the neat park that I teach classes in now). For this special occasion the girls had to get new "hats". They only stay on if James is also wearing his "hat" and we make a big deal about how neat and cool they are. This Kate sporting her hat the night we got them and started to get the girls used to them. James and the girls wore their hats for most of the evening that night. I now feel left out not having a cool hat. I guess if we plan on making this a routine Saturday excursion I'll have to get my own. The girls did not enjoy the trip as much as we did. The hats don't fit so well so they have to lift them up to see if we point something out and Kate seems to love to lean on Emma the whole time so poor Emma looks like she is squished. Everyone that we passed thought they were sleeping. Boy were they fooled. Whenever other people were out of sight the wailing would begin.

The remainder of our Saturday was spent do'in things that have needed do'in since fall started. We finally blew/raked up all the leaves in the yard (now we are waiting on a 50 gallon drum so that we can burn them... way to many to bag) and blew out the gutters. James handled the gutters I did the yard. It is a fun new toy that we got for Christmas and definitely made short work of it. You would think after owning a house for 2 years before this one that we would have acquired all the homeowner necessary tools by now... I guess thats what happens when your first home comes with two trees that were shorter than James. Raking was not something we ever did there, here we love the trees but had forgotten how much work they made.
