This week Cade hurt his ankle in soccer and has had to stay off it so the swelling would go down.  This is next to impossible for a nine year old boy and so big brother decided to help.  We were cutting down some big bushes in our yard on Saturday and Reagan decided to put the branches to good use.  He asked to use the saw and before we knew it, he’d created new transportation for Cade.

That is a snow hat and painters tape.  We have a regular MacGyver on our hands!  Yes, the real MacGyver would have used duct tape, but our MacGyver had just used up the last of our duct tape a few days before on some other crazy project.

Earlier this week Liberty wasn’t feeling well.  Before I could do anything about it, Reagan Nightingale had her all taken care of.

Not pictured is the barf bowl on the floor. 

The leaves are starting to fall in our yard, but we don’t have enough to jump in quite yet.  Every day the kids go out there and rake up what has fallen in the hopes that it might be big enough, but to no avail.  So yesterday Reagan convinced several friends on the street to help him rake up THEIR leaves and then wheelbarrow them to OUR backyard to make our pile big enough to jump in.  They had quite the system.  I had random little boys with their own wheelbarrows dumping leaves in my yard all afternoon.  I think I’ll have him paint the fence next week!!-White.

I didn’t have the heart to tell Reagan that once all the leaves fall, he’ll be so sick of raking that he’ll seriously regret this idea.  But they had fun just the same.  And that’s the whole point with Reagan.  He’s always trying to have fun or help and even though he sometimes gets into trouble because of them, his wonderful ideas never stop.
