Today's chore: picking (and picking up) crab apples. By the hundreds. I might have some guilt about throwing them all away. (But apparently not enough.) And it might be a week to tip the garbage man.
Garry mowed the lawn. And Gavin cowered on the porch, chanting, "lawmow scawy." He seemed truly petrified, but, sensitive Mom that I am, I thought it was hilarious and tried to capture video. Gavin has been obsessed with the scary lawnmower all.day.long. Hilarity has given way to fatigue. Enough already!
Zach and Tyler played most of the day with the neighbor boy, Tyler. Those boys love to climb trees, and we have plenty!
And then I experimented with Lexi's silly hair. Even sillier than the natural Mohawk, I believe!
Tonight the kids are having CYO (choose your own) for dinner. Zach and Gavin chose macaroni and cheese. Tyler had cereal and toast. After the kids go to bed, Garry and I will get take-out and watch something on TV...the best attempt at a date we've had since....well, probably our wedding anniversary in June.
It's a Saturday to remember.

Very cute video.
I don't know, Lexi looks like she likes her hair! I can't get over how much she looks like Zach, it is really uncanny. I haven't tried to put Iris's hair in a ponytail. Maybe I will tomorrow, just for fun!
And I am all for getting rid of flowers or anything else that is sitting around making you feel like a slob. I got rid of a tree that was just plain not happy in our heat here ("not happy" is being VERY generous) and I felt so much better when it was gone! Sorry, plants, us moms have enough to feel bad about as it is.
I grew up climbing crab apple trees. Very fun for the boys.
I think Lexi's new hairdo was simply waiting to happen. She's stylin'.
Adorable Gavin and Lexi!
