Lawnmowers

Ever since Joel got his lawnmower for his birthday we couldn't wait to get all the boys together to mow the lawn.  Well it was more me excited to get pictures of Daddy cutting the grass with his little look-a-likes following behind him.  Colin has always loved it and will follow Brent all over the yard (which our neighbors love to watch) Joel loves his lawnmower and we thought it would be a fun.  But it wasn't  - not at first.

Colin was upset his lawnmower didn't have a string on it to pull like Joels. Joel went over to trade but then Colin realized his was much taller so he kept his lawnmower and was smiles again.

It took a while for Joel to warm up to the real lawnmower. He wasn't sure about it at first. I think he's been napping the past few months when Brent and Colin go out to cut the grass.  Then he slowly got the idea. 

Joel thought he should go get the spots they missed.  Colin can't figure out why Joel wouldnt follow after him :)

Halfway though Joel sat down and complained about how big our yard was.

He watched Brent and Colin with this look on his face for a while.  "You mean its actually fun to keep going in this heat?"  (mommy doesn't blame him)

But he got a second wind and realized all the cool things his lawnmower can do.

Colin takes his job very seriously.

He loves it - but he has finally realized his doesn't really cut grass and needs a lawnmower with REAL blades - just like Daddy's. But he still has fun pretending.

All in all not a bad evening.  I think I had the most fun watching it. And I think Joel will begin to love it like Colin.

This was his face towards the end.  Love it!
