The professor that Jarrod replaced, and who is now wintering in Florida, called and asked if the boys wanted to earn some money mowing. Jarrod enthusiastically agreed (notice the steep incline of the driveway!).
Our mower died the next day. So convenient! Hence, we had to borrow a lawn mower to get the job done (thank goodness for the Bishop and his wife!). But, I'm a little uncomfortable borrowing the lawn mower, and a lot more uncomfortable with my boys borrowing it. So I did the mowing. (Hanging onto the fence rail so I don't fall down the lawn.)
Living in Huntington, WV has made us conscious of the weight issues in this area. It was dubbed the fatest city in America. I have drawn my own conclusions as to why. They don't mow their yards. Anybody that does mow would be really skinny. It's sooooooooo difficult to push the mower up the hills and pull it back up if you mow over the edge of the cliff. We, Sawyer and I, have found out the hard way.
But, because we borrowed the lawn mower when the Bishop's garage was broken into, the thieves had one less lawn mower to take. For this we are all very grateful! And, we got another letter in the mail requesting more services.

Good exercise, but I hope little fingers stay away from the lawn mower. They don't know the dangers of it. Sorry about your Bishop's garage being broken into--no one is free from that, I guess.
Um...Amy...what's wrong with the last picture? Could it be that you have a little boy in front of a mower on a hill. What if you slip? The mower gets lifted up, and bye, bye little boy. Don't put your sons in front of the mower when you're mowing downhill!
great pictures - great exercise. it feels like home, it's either UP or DOWN from my driveway. (atleast my lawn is pretty flat.)
...and that is why you are an import... too skinny and you mow lawns! Ditto Aaron; last picture is scary to me. It was short sleeve weather here today! Hooray.
Thank goodness your lawnmower was broken, one less thing for us to replace. We do miss our weed eaters. Yeah, it's great exercise to mow the lawn, but maybe you can take a much needed rest and let your boys do it. They can't tear up the lawnmower.
What about borrowing a Riding Mower?! Pretend you're on a Six flags roller coaster ride and pray we don't flip! Uncle Aaron, that mower is not even turned on with Sawyer in front. Can't you see Mom has a firm grip on the handle trying to pull as Sawyer helps to push. With all the wrestling he's learned, he could easily pin that mower to the ground! :P
