Some hard working boys!

'The edger'...complete with buzzing lips!

Following every step of daddy's

Oh...this is where it's at!

In sync around the turns

Tyler finally joined in the fun


Mowing is an entertaining and fun activity at our house! And a great way for the boys to learn the value of hard work. Every time BJ gets out to mow the boys get excited. Maybe it's because daddy makes it fun by blowing them with the blower, letting them push it, and allowing them to stay completely under foot! Yet, Drew takes it to a whole new level. I have found him on more than one occasion dragging the toy mower into the house and pretending to cut the carpet. He usually wraps the cord of an old blow dryer around his shoulder, puts BJ's IPOD on, his sunglasses, and buzzes his lips as he 'edges' the base boards. So today, since the blow dryer was not handy, he gazed across the backyard and spotted the glass table. He tips it over, pulls off one of the two legs that criss-cross to make the stand and off he went! Following daddy for the entire time, buzzing and itching his nose from the grass! The thought of this activity never crossed his mind as a chore! Probably because it's the 'coolest thing ever to mow T-A-L-L grass!' Someday, dear Drew, you will not enjoy it as much.
