Much to Damion’s annoyance I let the kids play with stuff (read as dirty dishes) in the sink while I’m making dinner or doing anything that puts me in the kitchen for an extended period (read as more than 5 minutes).  Today the task was making cookies and phase one of dinner.  At one point Anna got down to get a cookie and cookie dough (for the record I think she prefers the cookie dough over the cookies) and went back to her spot at the sink.  A bit later she got my attention and said, “Mommy, your cookies make me happy.”  What a sweetheart!

Today I took on the task of mowing the backyard, seriously I think the kids could have gotten lost in it, okay maybe it wasn’t quite that bad.  We usually bag our clippings but out of pure laziness I decided to let the mower “mulch” the clippings.  Now when I was going to do this the kids were going to be in the backyard playing.  Apparently Jack didn’t get the memo about the playing part.  He spent a portion of the time walking beside me and making the happiest little noises he could make.  At one point I stopped the mower to talk with Anna and Jack ran to the mower and held onto the handle part with a great look of determination.  Is he to young to have mowing our lawn, of course you have to overlook the fact that he can’t push the mower.

Also, if anybody is in the area over the next two weeks and want to watch our kids for an hour or two, let me know….I have some scrapbook shopping to do.
