Mo' Fun

A few weeks ago, my bro-in law, Alex asked if we'd like to share an aerator rental with them. We said sure, but we don't have a tractor. He volunteered to do it for us and throw down grass seed! Awesome, right?

Well, it gets better. Fast forward to this weekend. It's been raining a lot. EJ needed to mow first. We didn't know how he'd squeeze it in before Alex showed up. No problem, he offered to mow at the same time. EJ was thrilled and secretly hoping I'd see how much faster it was and agree to us buying a riding mower ;) It was SO much faster. Hmm...

The real blessing for ME was that we had more time as a family this weekend to have fun without having to worry about the fall lawn care routine. You see, EJ was gone almost ALL of last week. We ALL missed him. It would have been really tough gearing up for another day without him around. Ryan wouldn't even let him (happily) out of his sight. Thank you Alex and Lissa from the bottom of this mama's heart!

And of course, it must be noted, both boys had a blast riding around the yard. It's not every day a man in fatigues shows up on a mower :)
