Bringing In the Leaves

These kids DID come rejoicing, bringing in the leaves!
They even brought along a Leaf Compactor. 
Arrival time was shortly after lunch, and continued working until after the sunset.
You know how I'm not one to brag (hahaha!) but goodness, did these three work HARD!
They seem to have gotten an excellent work ethic from their diligent and hard-working parents.
THGGM looked into what it would cost to have yard cleanup done, so he offered them that amount, to be split three ways.
Not only did they work hard at bringing in the leaves, they figured out the math down to the last fraction.  Oh, and they did take a couple of breaks when THGGM brought the leaves to the yard waste dump.  When they saw the car pull up, Famke would announce it, and off they would go.  Once, one of the boys said he was tired.  Famke looked at her other brother and said, "That means more money for us!" which of course meant off the three of them went.  Together. 
They were also rewarded with donuts from Marge's Donut Den, but they made quick work of those.  There was milk too! 
So fall is now cleaned up and dragged away, and it's onward and forward to Christmas!
Yay!
