so small

grass

We've got a pretty big backyard for in town and now that we have grass,

granted it's still slightly patchy,

we have to mow it.

We think Liam is old enough to learn how to do this.

So Friday came along and this is how it looked.

Father teaching son...

Son trying so hard to mow a straight line...

Other children playing after tidying up the toys...

There were only a few strips of grass left when

Liam had finished. He was tired and hot but I think he

liked it. Being able to do something a little more 'grown up'

and have some responsibility is good.

I told him that it would get easier,

the more he does it the stronger he'll get

and the easier it will be.

But it's still a job and jobs are hard sometimes

and sometimes you don't wanna do it

but it has to get done.

Responsibility.

Let's see how he feels when it has to be done

every week, or even twice a week!

summer

I cannot wait for summer!

I think I'm more excited about it than my boys.

I have so many fun things planned already like...

Swimming Lessons

Camping at Otter Falls

Picnics in random parks

Beach days

Van A's Cabin

Possibly a trip to Saskatchewan

and of course

Birthday Parties

It's gonna be fun filled, action packed, good times!

No sitting around and waiting for school to start up.

Not like we ever do that, the school year always seems to sneak up on

us and spoil our summery fun.

Look out Summer 2010

Here we come!

(ps, i miss you beautiful sunset. can't wait till we meet again soon)
