Getting Around to It and An Answer to Lori's Question

I finally signed up. Since I helped Lori set this up and was on vacation when I did so, I never officially signed up until today. I love all the pictures/posts so far.

We also got around to raking the backyard. It is funny that I even have to rake it since there isn't even one tree or bush in the yard but we are grateful for the neighbors tree that provided some shade for us on our summer morning trampoline adventures.

Here are the kids in the leaves:

So yet on my 'To Do' list is neighbor gifts. I am actually copying Erin and her idea of making sleigh kits for my neighbors and friends. This is a picture of the one Erin made for our family last year. I think families will love it or at least I hope. Wether or not this is something that families in New Jersey would love or not I can't help you out with that, but people in Fruitland will dig it. I personally would love a jug of hot cocoa and I have tried homemade marshmallows and they are tasty but I haven't made them myself. I think that sounds like a great and tasty idea.
