Things we do for fun:

We take the children to Sears and force them to sit on the really expensive lawnmowers for photo ops.
I heart Sears.


For some of us, this is great fun. M seems to really love motorized vehicles.

Even J isn't too old to get some enjoyment from "trying out" a really expensive lawn implement.

For others of us, this seems to cause a great deal of bitterness. See my husband in the background of the above photo? He stares bleakly at the children, thinking, "If we didn't have all these darn children we could have one great big giant lawnmower with zero turn capabilities...(sigh!)"

Just kidding. He hearts those darn children. And he eagerly awaits the day when they can all use the lawn implements independently.

Our yard will sure look spiffy then!
