Leaf Raking with Grandpa

Our Norton Grandparents have the best maple tree in their front yard.  It was perfect to send kids outside to run around when they were fighting (so Derek has told me).  It is also full of major leaves.  So, when they start falling, Grandma came up with a plan to help Grandpa get out and rake them.  Invite over the grandkids.  This began years ago with the Barretts, but this year it was our turn to help Grandpa.  Libby was worried that we wouldn't be able to rake in the dark, but we did it by porch light.  There was only one incident.  We were boosting kids into the yard waste containers to let them stamp down the leaves.  Grandma suggested it was Sarah's turn.  Boosting Sarah is a bit more intense than boosting the others.  And, I overdid it.  I boosted her so hard that she ricocheted off of the other side of the can with her mouth.  Poor thing.  So she sat inside with frozen veggies on her chin while we finished.  We made some good memories!
