We were getting Saturday chores done and I looked outside and saw this:
My son mowed his first lawn today…I’m so proud (sniff, sniff)!! When did he get so big?
He mowed most of the front yard, and Dan helped him figure out how to mow around the trees in the back yard. His still needs a lot more practice, but next year it is definitely going to be in the chore rotation!
Haden was in tears because he wanted to mow, and Dan told him he wasn’t big enough. So Dan took pity and let him help out a little bit.
Now we have two happy little boys. Oh, and a happy Mom!
Completely unrelated side note: I ran a 7 miler in 1:08:02 this morning and felt great. Never thought I would ever break 5 miles. Dan wants me to do the Highway to Hale 10k with him this year. I am actually considering it now.
That's SO amazing! I'm jealous! I keep hoping my boys would start, but even I can't mow with the awful, old mower we have. It takes all I have to turn it on (most times I'm not successful), and then pushing it is a killer. I keep telling Julio is time to buy a mower but he doesn't see the need ... so I guess he'll have to be the one doing it until he is willing to make the purchase. It's ok when he is home, but when he's not we have to depend on everyone around us to help us. ARGH!
