Ben was home Friday so I enlisted him and the boys in "Operation Leaf Cleanup". The boys had the best 2 jobs: jump in my nice, neat piles of leaves and drive the bags to the road. Ben worked really hard and I treated him to lunch: pizza and hotdogs at Sams.
Later that evening, we attempted the Botanical Gardens' Member Walk Thru Galaxy of Lights. If you recall, we made an attempt 2 years ago and failed. We didn't even try it last year. This year we managed to drag it out from start to almost close, watch Nina out sprint other families to get a wagon, witness DRS's continued theme for the year(ask Ben), enjoy hot chocolate and snicker-doodle cookies, listen to complaints about walking, wait in line for 20 minutes for 1 of 4 to sit in Santa's lap and continue our healthy lifestyle with fast food at 9 o'clock at night.
Wouldn't you consider it a success?
