And since she's only 7, he still helps out. :)Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10465077704431013937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25265925.post-90821472302636683472009-06-09T09:20:36.332-05:002009-06-09T09:20:36.332-05:00I'm just like you on this one, Mel -- I usual...I'm just like you on this one, Mel -- I usually mow, too, and for the same reasons. My sisters and I always helped with mowing and Brad has a major allergy to grass and the outdoors in general. It is very satisfying to finish it and see your work laid out in front of you and your neighbors. We also use a push-mower, which used to annoy Brad, but our yard is small now. I actually mowed our whole yard, push-mowed mind you, on my due date with Mallory - in the heat of the NC summer - while Logan and Brad watched college football inside. I did go into labor that night, so it was well-worth the work! :)MANDYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07508364785560416996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25265925.post-30036730358068107832009-06-03T12:07:49.483-05:002009-06-03T12:07:49.483-05:00Not bush, I meant busy.Not bush, I meant busy.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17423271084765987413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25265925.post-53745292944848201582009-06-03T12:05:33.750-05:002009-06-03T12:05:33.750-05:00Way too bush to mow huh?

And to be fair to Amber, she was way too busy to mow.<br />Love mom<br />PS Thanks Mel for letting us use your blog as a forum for discussion.Sherriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01440523151265394179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25265925.post-74737116873933151512009-06-02T22:12:39.591-05:002009-06-02T22:12:39.591-05:00wow! i feel a little guilty that i have hired a co...wow! i feel a little guilty that i have hired a company to mow my lawn every other week. and have a housekeeper to clean my house once a month. but i promise thats only while patrick is gone. when he gets back i'm putting him back to work :)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02323970655981137650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25265925.post-36992769336053771332009-06-02T11:02:55.251-05:002009-06-02T11:02:55.251-05:00I'm not sure if I should be flattered or offended ...I'm not sure if I should be flattered or offended by all of the "personal attention" my comment has generated! LOL. Thank you for the dedicated post. I figured there had to be a perfectly good reason as to why you were mowing and not Cory.

Kind of peaceful and it does look great afterwards! I think it's great that you will do it for Cory. Who wants a sleepy husband all day? I would trade toilets to mow the lawn any day.Lenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11577434952571039680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25265925.post-18792034020571147692009-06-01T12:02:31.940-05:002009-06-01T12:02:31.940-05:00Yay for mowing the lawn!

I used to mow the lawn growing up b/c my dad is in a wheelchair and my brother moved out of the house and my mom paid me to do it. :) I usually mow the backyard now and it is surprisingly very satisfying.Pennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13017167516373303509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25265925.post-74210114814690008302009-06-01T09:34:19.480-05:002009-06-01T09:34:19.480-05:00I love mowing the yard because it is about an hour...I love mowing the yard because it is about an hour of "me time" well, sorta. Stephan sits on my lap, but he usually loves it and is quiet the whole time... Then again we have a riding lawn mower (that was given to us because we didn't have any kind of mower at the time) ... so, end the end I have a mowed yard, a tan, and I'm usually relaxed and so is Stephan!Whyzzerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11477793595368954458noreply@blogger.com
