Taking the trash out at our house can be quite the adventure. Our driveway is long and steep and if the trash cans are heavy it can sometimes turn into an involuntary tug of war of sorts. We also have small and large creatures lurking around our neck of the woods at night making the trip a little spooky and needless to say, not a very fun chore. Well that all changed last night, let me explain. Pat asked Karli & Jake to take out the trash so they jumped up from what they were doing and walked out the door (in my kids defense, they are all pretty good sports and never really complain about doing this.) Anyway.... I was cleaning up the kitchen and suddenly realized that a lot of time had gone by and Karli and Jake should have been back in the house by now. I even said to Pat "I wonder what is taking the kids so long?" "I hope they didn't get eaten by wild coyotes!" Pretty soon they were back inside and I didn't think any more about it, until this morning. As I was looking through i photo I came across some evidence of why it took these two so long to take the trash out last night:)
I feel so blessed to have such great kids who can turn a smelly chore into a fun photo shoot!
So the next time your kids complain about taking out the trash ..... hand them a camera:)

hilarious! That does sound like quite a chore.
Yucky, and I thought I had it bad since I was the one who somehow ALWAYS had to take out the garbage. Funny photo shoot.
That looked funner than when I had to take out the trash. I would have to go alone into the great dark back yard, head around the garage to the blacker side of heck and think I was okay,.....okay..... until all of a sudden I realized that "skeletonman" was lurking around the next corner and I would take off like a shot and do a 50 in 10 seconds or less, leaping up the stairs in one shot, open the door with my extended hand, midair, and fly into the middle of kitchen, saaaaaafe and sound. "Not today "skeletonman!"
I am going to have to bring a camera with me next time I take out our trash....it looks like it makes the experience a whole lot better!
