This is why I had kids

Our lawnmower has been on the fritz until recently (thank you Jerry!) and so we borrowed a friend's self propelled mower a few weekends this past month. Darren took advantage of that situation to let Parker have a taste of what is to come...for forever.

Look at the concentration on that face.

And then I step inside and find this?
Yep, we're all about breaking child labor laws around here.

There are child labor laws? Hmmm...don't tell my kids!!

I'm with Pam... if there are child labor laws, I don't want to know about them. *plugging ears, sticking out tongue, and trilling loudly*

I love this and I really love the look on Parker's face. It was so good to see you. I wish I closer. Love you. Oh and what do you think about the Womens Conference thing? Let me know.

That is good teaching over there. Nice job. I bet Parker just loved doing all that. He will be a big help to you in a few months.

Send them over my kids need to be taught better. I was trying to figure out in that first picture if Darren was wearing wrist bands cause I could only really see the blue and I thought that was a little strange then I saw they were gloves that made a lot more sense.

LOL--awesome! Way to take advantage while they think it's fun and cool to help out. Way to raise up your children! I think its great your two boys want to help out around the house. Now all that is missing is Lexi making dinner!

bTW--When is your due date and are you going to find out what you're having?? LOVE YA!~Linz

I did not see this one post. This is hilarious. (I don't think I spelt that right. But I am to lazy to check it.) Happy Mother's Day.
