Raking leaves and other fun

One afternoon last week the kids raked leaves in the back yard and jumped in the pile. Well, Rhett raked...Alexee & Bogart jumped.

Alexee likes to have her fingernails and toenails painted. She has trouble giving them time to dry, but I think they look so sweet!
Rhett went to spend the weekend with my parents. I've talked to him a few times, and he is having lots of fun. We are missing him here though--it's so quiet! (Alexee doesn't have anyone to fight with!) Lane and I went out to dinner last night. This morning we took my car to have new tires installed then we went to breakfast at Mimi's Cafe. It was really good. We've eaten lunch and dinner there several times, but this was our first time to have their breakfast. Alexee had the Mimi Mouse pancakes and apple juice.
After breakfast we took A to the park for a little while. It was such a pretty day!

Here's A on the slide today...

...It reminded me of this picture of her in the very same spot in October 2007.
This afternoon we played outside and went for a short walk. Alexee pushed the bear around in the stroller, and she also found these leaves for him. :)
