Today we decided to pay him to clean up the leaves. We&#8217;re paying per bucket that he fills and dumps into the ravine. He went right to work! I don&#8217;t mind paying him since we pay someone else anyway, and because Lex needs the fresh air and exercise, and because he is trying so hard to earn money! The other day he decided to draw dinosaur pictures and sell them to the neighbors. I thought the leaf raking would be more a more useful way to earn money. :)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/IMG_0165.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11214\" alt=\"IMG_0165\" src=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/IMG_0165-500x375.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/IMG_0165-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/IMG_0165-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/IMG_0165-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/IMG_0167.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11215\" alt=\"IMG_0167\" src=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/IMG_0167-500x375.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/IMG_0167-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/IMG_0167-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/IMG_0167-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/IMG_0169.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11216\" alt=\"IMG_0169\" src=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/IMG_0169-500x375.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/IMG_0169-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/IMG_0169-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/IMG_0169-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/IMG_0173.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11217\" alt=\"IMG_0173\" src=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/IMG_0173-500x375.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/IMG_0173-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/IMG_0173-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/IMG_0173-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a>Can you guess what&#8217;s awesome about this next picture?\u00a0 It&#8217;s not my daughter or my husband, although they are both awesome of course&#8230;.
