Literally

Sunday was yard work day. After two little boys were napping, the rest of the fam headed out to get ready for winter. Joshua had no desire to be out raking. I put on my thinking cap and tied it tight. What does a 9 year old boy love to do? Search and destroy, yell "Hiiiiyaaahhhhh!" and pound things. He was put on a mission swinging a bat at a broken plastic tub to be thrown away. He was in his element! After the tub was in smithereens all over the yard he asked me what to do next. I asked him to go inside and get a WalMart bag to put the pieces into. Half an hour later he reappeared. "Mom, I was looking and looking for a WalMart bag, but all I could find was Econo Foods."
