So I mowed the front lawn the other day! Skyler and Domenic sit on the front porch and watch. They got Popsicles to enjoy and entertain them. They loved it. They were so good about it. Many of you may be thinking "why is she mowing the lawn?" Well, here is my thoughts on mowing the lawn.
I used to use "I've never mowed the lawn" in 10 fingers. For those of you who have never played 10 fingers you come up with something that you have never done that you hope others have done in an attempt to get them to put their fingers down and you end up with the most fingers up. So, to continue, I had never mowed the lawn. 2 summers ago I was pregnant with Skyler and had to take some time off work. Brandon was still working 2 jobs and his hours kept him at work from 7 am till 7:30 pm. He was so tired when he'd get home that the outside began to suffer. After the lawn had gone about 3 weeks without being mowed I decided it was time to intervene. I was home during the day, he was not. There was a need and I had the ability to help. So at 5 months pregnant, and 29 years old I mowed my first lawn. Now I tend to take my turn when the need occurs. There is one thing that I have come to appreciate. Being a stay-at-home mom is great, and working is great too. But I don't think that you can truly appreciate the one without having done the other. Brandon works hard, all day long. I work hard, all day long. We just do different things, and we are a team working together to make our home a lovely place. It doesn't bother me to have to do some out of the ordinary things, like mowing the lawn. I love to help.
We have these mushrooms growing in our lawn. I don't know where they are coming from, but after mowing I went through and pulled them all out. Gross! These two pics were taken by my dear little man, Domenic! Such a cutie! He also took this picture of the bird house and sunflowers! He did such a great job! Both he and Alexis have been wanting to experiment with taking pictures. I have tried to teach them what I know, and I think that they are doing pretty well! Lovely! Maybe I'll enter his photo into the fair next year?!?

Great pictures!
I really don't like mowing the lawn. But - I have on occasion. It's been a looooooong time, though, because we haven't had a lawn to mow. Those mushrooms are very colorful. I wonder what causes them?
Nice pix Domenic.
Wow, I was surprised to read that you mowed the lawn. No outside work aye? I love the explanation you gave, too cute.
Oh, I was going to tell you about the kid cameras. Have you seen them? They are digital cameras, about $50 or so. I found one that I wanted to get Kayc for Christmas that has a desk with it that hooks up to the tv and they can create designs on the photo, then print, email or blog.
