From the mouths of babes...

I'm not awfully proud, and I don't mind admitting that a lot of our toys, especially our outside toys, come from garage sales and hand-me-downs.  Still, I had to wonder this week, when the children decided to gather all the outside toys - yes, right down to every block, bucket, shovel and sandbox toy - and to pile them on the playground.  "It's all trash," they told me.

 "And this is our trash truck."  How clever they are!  They took turns standing on the step and holding the yellow handles, just like the guys on our trash truck do.
