I’ve been feeling restless the past few days. I think this is due to the beautiful day we had this past Monday (and the crappy days we’ve had since). Jake and I even managed to go outside and play for an hour before supper that day. Since it’s way to early to be doing any yardwork, I didn’t have much to do outside, so I mostly played with Jake. He wanted to play hide-and-go-seek. I’m always hesitant to play that game with him because of an incident we had last year…he wanted to play the aforementioned game and I was to hide. There aren’t a whole lot of places to hide in our yard, so I hid in the shed. I was in there for like 10 minutes and he didn’t find me, so I ended up looking for him instead. I looked everywhere for him and he wasn’t to be found. Naturally, I figured he was abducted. I decided to check the house just in case he went in there. I found him in the living room watching tv. Apparently he gave up on finding me so he decided to go watch the tube instead. Sheesh.
While we were out the other day, I did put a few things away in the shed–namely the scooter Jake got for Christmas and the new lawnmower we got last week. Let me tell you about this mower–it’s a reel mower (you know, one of those old-fashioned kind of mowers that doesn’t use any gas). I don’t know why, but I’ve always wanted one of these. Last year I decided to get one since we now have a place to store it. I absolutely refuse to cut the grass with a gas-powered mower because they’re just too freaking loud. But, I can see my self using this new one. Don’t get me wrong–I don’t plan on cutting the grass every week, but I can see myself helping out a little this summer. Brian never wanted one of these mowers, but he’s into it now. It could just be because any grass I mow is grass he doesn’t have to mow. We’re going to see how we like it and if it works well, we may just get rid of our gas mowers next year. Time will tell.
