Eli, let's go out in the yard and play with the leaves. Let's rake piles of them and jump around; we'll bury ourselves and throw them at each other! What's that you say? We don't really have a yard? We have only a sapling with limited leaves? There are only 60 leaves on the ground to choose from? That's ok, we'll play in them anyway!


Eli has such a great imagination. He kept bringing me piles of leaves and telling me they were different kinds of food, "Here, Mommy, eat your pees." or "I made you some soup." Maybe if we could afford to buy food, he would have to imagine us eating leaves...
Also, we discovered a "baby snake". But then we killed him because everyone knows he tempted the woman and brought all of humanity into sin.

love the pictures! and thank you for all the encouragement!!
