Love these Tuesdays

September 25, 2018

I helped Brian mow today and I about died.  I seriously don't know how he does it all day, every day, six days a week.  I really enjoyed it but I am a big wimp.  I worked for about two hours and had a recovery time at home of about four hours.  Tanner found out this was the only the third time I had ever mowed a lawn.   He got this little grin, shook his head and asked "who raised you?"  It was kind of hilarious.  What can I say?  I was surrounded by brothers and they did a great job taking care of the yard.  

This is in an alley way so I was mostly mowing weeds and
rocks and keeping my eyes open for rattlesnakes.

The Birdies came over again for a quick 45 minutes after school.  Brian was home for lunch and tried to help Charlotte with her homework.  She wasn't sure she wanted his help.  She did let Brinley help her though.  She also randomly told Brian, "Braddock's really smart but he's not a very good flosser."  (I'm not sure if she was talking about flossing his teeth or the dance move called flossing.)  Gotta love little kids!  Last week Braddock worked on homework the entire time so this week he and I played Imploding Kittens.  We both love that game and I can get my kids to play it (or any game) very often with me.   He beat me.

Aub put her hair in tons of little buns so it will be wavy
in the morning.  When she realized Parker was taking
her picture she tried to hide!  She told me I did
not have her permission to post this picture on the blog.
I'm hoping she will never know.  

Snuggle time for Tanner and Bryn.  

Playing a little Fortnite.
Park is a happy boy.  His new Iphone came in yesterday.  He worked
all summer and saved most of what he made to buy a new phone.
Brian and I think he is a little crazy to spend so much but he is
pretty pleased with his purchase so far.

Bryn helping Tanner and Aub find their "true laugh" by pushing
all of the air out of them while they laughed....it was a little painful
for me to listen to so I left the room.
