get this boy a lawn mower!

in the fall, i looked and looked for a lawn mower for connor. i found scads of strollers and not a single lawn mower. what are they saying, that they want kids to learn that you are supposed to hire a lawn service instead of getting out there and pushing your own mower with a little elbow grease??? i say they're forming a nation of weenies! and what about all the little boys that needed something other than a stroller to push? don't even get me started! so all joking aside, i seriously had my eyes peeled and couldn't believe that i didn't see any on my quest.

connor didn't let my short comings stop his vivid imagination though. this is him mowing the lawn with daddy using his golf bag. sometimes he pretends his golf club is a leaf blower... or a vacuum... or a gun... or a fishing pole.... or a *fill in the blank*.... you get the idea.

ok, dad, you do the first cut i'll follow with the close shave.

hang on, i'm working on a criss cross pattern here.

yep.... this will definitely win the neighborhood coolest lawn prize. .... except for the holes that stupid squirrel has been digging. good thing mom doesn't have her .22 out or that squirrel would find himself buried in a shallow unmarked grave.
