They Say The Best Things In Life Are Free...


... of course that depends on who you ask.

Last week while the weather was still nice I came home and found a purple riding toy placed outside the house next door with some other free things. I thought about grabbing it, but then remembered I have two boys and one riding toy would never do.

The next day I came home and discovered a second riding toy had joined it and even though we don't have a lot of riding room in our backyard we have a little, so I nabbed them. Two boys + two riding toys was bound to = a fun time for all.

Which it did, except no one liked the purple one and everyone liked the other one. Thank goodness Nate and Seth are (mostly) good about sharing.

And even giving each other a ride:

– *grunt* Is Mommy still looking?

Although it usually looks more like this since Nate prefers it when Seth does all the work (also note the rejected purple toy off to the side):

– Ahhh... 'dis more like it.

We also learned some new phrases that day, like "I end up in rhubarb now":

– We not actually have rhubarb everyone.

Twice.

– No. 'Dis just an expression. Obviously.

Of course, the very best part about the new-to-us riding toy was harvesting the nearby fall leaves: 


– I just checking to see if I has any other tricks up sleeves for later.

And dumping handfuls of them on the riding toy:

– Oh yes. 'Dis definitely best part everyone.

Good times.

And lastly a couple of posed shots. Promises of cheese crackers can apparently make a toddler sit still for at least 2.5 seconds.
