I did it!!!

Yep, I got the lawnmower to work today! All it needed was the blade or was it the whole lawnmower - to be lowered, and hey presto, the lawn is short again! Do you have any idea how difficult it is to mow a lawn with two boys. We do have a toy lawnmower, but only one, so one mowed with the toy one (Richard) and Robert "helped" me! In other words, he stood in front of me and helped push, you should have seen the funny walk that caused me to have! Luckily or unfortunately no one had a camera to capture the moment, so I won't be scrapping this years first lawnmowing session! The boys thoroughly enjoyed themselves though and have hopefully worn themselves out for the night!

Speaking of which, I was so surprised when the first "Mummy" call came last night. Cause it was no longer night, but early morning and light! Yep, both Robert and Richard slept through and so did I. Robert called at 7.15am so even that wasn't too early! We stuck a sticker on Robert's Bob the Builder calendar, and when he has 7 stickers in a row (!) then he gets a present. We'll see how it goes!

I got some scrapping done in my "lunch break" and I actually remembered to save it to the network drive, so I should be able to post it here now.

This first one is of Zoe and Mia trying to "gracefully" get out of their new hammock! So cute!

And this one is Mia, I found so many pictures of her dressed up, that I thought I should scrap them. Isn't she cute!

Glad to hear you and the boys are getting some sleep (at least for one night).
I can't believe that you are mowing your lawn already. Ours is still in sleep mode from the winter. If we run the mower now, it will be to chop up all the leaves we didn't get last fall.
I know about lowering the blade, but my husband doesn't have me now our lawn becasue he says I can't go in a straight line. So I get out of that job. Which is good, had to do it as a kid. You take care and we'll chat soon.
