Seven year old boys are so much fun, everything is an adventure and anything goes when it comes to work, play and clothing choices.
Raking leaves at our old house was a huge job but Ryan was always ready to step up and help. This cold afternoon he dressed himself in his favorite yard-work gear including rubber boots, sweat pants, a rain coat and baseball hat. For eye protection what could be better than 3D glasses?
When we needed help smashing leaves so more would fit in the yard waste bin Ryan was the first to say “ok Mom, if you need me I’ll go in deep”.
All the way to the bottom.

You tell him those 3D glasses are awesome.
He is 12 and still loves them. It makes me very happy. 🙂
Ryan’s got such a serious look on his face in the second photo. It says “It’s a tough job but somebody’s got to do it.” Great shots!
Thanks! He was trying so hard to help, I love his expression in the 2nd one too. 🙂
Great pictures and memories. Reminds me when I use to run around the yard with my two in the wheelbarrow…my daughter graduates from SJSU in December and my son graduates from CSU in June. Just don’t blink!!!
Oh wow, how fun with the wheelbarrow but yes time goes by so fast… Congrats on two graduates!
Sounds like a great family affair!
It was a fun day. 🙂
That is some big green trash can! But I can see why you’d need it with all those leaves on the ground.
Oh yes, we could fill more than one every week!
Well, you’ve covered Deep in a different way! Love those glasses!
Thanks Sue, sometimes I like to try looking at these challenges from a different direction. 🙂 The glasses are still a favorite around here!
You and me both! 🙂
Beautiful memories, beautiful family, beautiful pics!
Thanks Nancy. 🙂 A little help and humor sure make yard work feel like less like a chore!
last photo, deep_2, is my favorite!
Thanks Frizz, believe it or not he didn’t want to get out!
The last photo is so real. All the expressions of trying to help with the photo shoot and the subtle look of when can I get out of this can?
I’m happy to hear you like it, thanks for sharing your comments.
I like the last photo too 🙂
Thanks Amy. 🙂 We had fun in the middle of a really big job!
That last picture made me smile 🙂 Lovely boy child you have 😉
Thanks, he is a lot of fun and makes me smile at least once a day too. 🙂
A smile a day is good 🙂
Great set
