It's Busy Around Here

Yesterday afternoon was spent helping with yard work at Mimi and Tooey's. Liam declared to me at one point, "It's busy around here!" And it was!

The helpers included one that was not so scared of the lawnmower...

T-man's shadow

Ugh

And one that was definitely worried about the lawnmower and chose to stay safe in the garage...

Worried

I did manage to coax the nervous one out of the garage where he decided he wanted to tell me all about Mimi's flowers...

Telling me about Mimi's flowers

and show me his "fluffies" as he calls them...

My fluffies!

He did decide to jump in when it was time to help empty the bag of grass...

and was even talked into helping push the lawnmower (or boom boom Da! as G calls it) back to the shed...

Brave little pusher

He was also very willing to help Tooey blow the grass clippings off the sidewalk...

There were three things going through my mind when watching all this unfold yesterday.

The first is that there is something pretty awesome about a Daddy who gets equally excited about playing lawnmower with one child...


I can do this!

as he does checking out the fluffies with the other...

The second thing I know for sure is that this one is not always as tough as he pretends to be..

Paci kid

The third is that I love both of these children more than I can explain.
