pickin up walnuts

I can't believe how warm it was the weekend after Thanksgiving! Honestly, I'd rather have the cold fall/winter days. But it was nice for the kids to be able to get out and play at Papa and Mima's house.



Or shall I say work. This little guy is such a hard worker. Really, he is. He is so good at cleaning up, and helping with things around the house. And picking up walnuts.



Especially when it involves a fun little tool like this...





Are you laughing at the gangster, one pant leg pulled up, look he's got going on?

Because I was. Or maybe it's just the fact that he's wearing sweats and daddy put his cute boots on him, instead of going with the harder-to-put on tennis shoes.



I think he picked up walnuts for an hour. You just roll this thing over them and it picks them up, cool huh? Maybe you've seen one before. I had not.



He was so funny. He liked staying on the driveway, so he'd spot a walnut off in the grass, go pick it up and put it on the drive way, right in front of the walnut-picker-upper and roll right over it.



He wanted to show you how many he collected.


Way to go Little Guy!!
