Clean Up

With spring comes the talk of spring cleaning and major projects around the house. Colin and I are totally into that mode, but we have mostly been thinking about the back yard. Then we realized there is more outside to be done than working on the back yard.

Jason getting ready to do some laundry.....his contribution to cleaning up (much needed after spilling Legos everywhere).

As everyone knows by now we have gotten a lot of moisture in the last week. On Friday, the snow started out chest level next to the driveway and today there is a small bump about as high as my foot. Most of the moisture soaked in due to the fact the frost is out of the ground. Last Sunday I even got some fertilizer on the ground before the snow and rain hit. This has led to a grass forest to start to pop up in the front. It is so green and seems to be growing at a very speedy rate. Since we have always rented from someone that supplied a mower, we didn't have one. The urgency to purchase a used or new one this week hit when we came to the realization that we would most likely need to mow this week. So, after scanning all of the newspaper adds and also pricing around at different stores we found the best mower for the price. I am warning you that the color might hurt your eyes. It is pumkin orange. My dad will appreciate this one since he loves orange. For those of you that know him you know that the Man's Room even has a bright orange floor. Well, that is the color of our mower. We got it on closeout so it was a little over $100 off the original price. WOOOOO!!!!!!HOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! I sure do love getting things on sale. So........ Here is to all of you preparing to do some spring work. Have fun mowing and cleaning. Also GO POKES!!!!!!! And I don't want to forget to wish Maggie fun unpacking. We can't wait to see your new place. Congrats!!!!

Our new mower.
