Raking Leaves, Picking Pumpkins, and Paying Tithing

October 10, 2016
Grandma and Grandpa have a lot of big trees at their house.  When autumn time comes there are LOTS of leaves to clean up.  It's fun that the girls are getting old enough (and that they're excited) to clean up leaves!

When they decided they were done cleaning up leaves we moved to the garden so they could do some digging.  One of our transient bunny pets joined us :)

We finally talked them into helping with the pumpkin harvest.  It honestly didn't take much convincing :)

Paying Tithing
A little while ago we started a chore chart with the girls.  They get a sticker every time they help with a chore and then once they get a good amount of stickers on their chart we pay them a nickel for each sticker they have.  We've also been teaching them about paying tithing, and this was their first time officially paying tithing.  They were so excited!

Never complete without a silly picture! :)

Seeing Savannah's face when she gave her tithing envelope to the bishop was priceless!  She was absolutely beaming and had the biggest smile on her face!  We were so glad to see her so happy about paying her tithing :)
