Since MARCH, Mike has been complaining about how hot it was mowing our 1/2 acre with a push mower. Every single week, he would come in gripping and complaining and claiming he wasn't doing that again and was going to find a lawn service or going to by a riding mower. Yet every Saturday, he went out and did it again. Just to complain again. He was just too cheap to spend the money. A couple of weeks ago he found a riding lawn mower for only $350 on Craigslist. HUNDREDS of dollars cheaper than anything he had found. He came home grinning from ear to ear. It has been fabulous! He comes in still hot, but happy it only takes 1/2 the time and effort. Our kids are loving it too. While Mike mows, the kids do their Saturday morning chores to earn a lawnmower ride. How redneck are we?! He finishes up about the time we do and then he gives them a few rides around the lawn. They get to steer and it's pretty much the highlight of their day. Not to mention a fun time with Dad.
(should have cropped these, but i'm not fixing it.)
And check out Mike's new glasses! Luke broke both mine and Mike's glasses within a few days of each other a month or so ago. I was so irritated (and yes they were high up and put away, DANG CLIMBING KID!!!!). We just weren't replacing them since we really only wear them around the house on Saturdays and mornings, etc. A friend told me about this awesome website to order glasses from (Zennioptical.com). Sure enough only $17.00 later Mike had new glasses in our mailbox! Yay for sweet deals!!!!!
