A Leaf Pile Treasure Hunt

Grae and I were at home today without a vehicle, stroller, Ergo, umbrella, or bus pass (Brad had the vehicle and accidentally took everything else along with him – oopsies!), so we decided to use the the dreary rainy day to get some yard work done {quite possibly in pajamas ☺}.  

I was raking leaves like a mad woman when I noticed that Grae had invented her own little game in the pile of leaves she was playing in.  She played round after round as I sat back quietly chuckling to myself as I watched.  First, she’d toss her little rake into the pile somewhere, then burry it with leaves and call out “Where’s Grae Grae’s rake?  Hmmm… I don’t know!” while holding her hands out up to the sky wandering through the pile…

Then she’d sort through the leaves, eventually find it, and retrieve it.

Then proudly stand up and announce “There it is!  There’s Grae Grae’s rake!!!”  

And when there wasn’t a leaf pile treasure hunt happening, there was a whole lot of this…
