TRASH TRUCK!

monday (otherwise known as "monkey monday" here).. is trash day..

and most mondays, usually during breakfast, we hear the trash truck barrelling down our street.. it is required that, if you are the first to hear it, you must say, at the top of your lungs, "TRASH TRUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!"... the rest of the family drops everything (today, i was in the middle of french braiding avery's pigtails.. you can see we have one in, one out) to rush to the couch, and peer out the window to watch the truck pick up our big green trashcan & rush onto the next house..

and i am not sure why my kids love it so much, but if we miss it... well, let's just say there are some frowns involved.

it is quite an event.. and i love that our kids get so much joy from it..

:) (but i will say, that resuming breakfast afterwards is always a bit anticlimactic)
