A parents milestone

My 10 year old daughter is super duper ultra deluxe into the Jonas Brothers. She was sooooooooo excited to see Camp Rock yesterday, but ended up missing the first half because we got the time wrong, she was super bummed out.

I am still not sure if she is into the boys of the band, or just the music. When I talk to her about them, she gets all smiley and shy, so I think she is liking the boys....



I knew this day would come... and so it begins...

As a father of two girls I knew this was going to happen eventually, but not quite sure on how to handle it. I guess there isn't much handling to do, I just have to be nice about it and not make fun of them for liking boy bands or teen heartthrobs etc... I'll probably get her a poster or something of the Jonas Brothers to hang in her room, maybe a t-shirt. I mean, at least its good music right? I think I listened to part of one song and it seemed OK, just not my bag.

Old School

So if you read the previous post, you should have figured out that our lawn mower died. So being the environmentally conscience family that we are, we decided to not pursue another gas powered lawn mower, but instead move backwards a couple of steps and go with a modern but old school Reel Mower.



I would have to say, it is a good time! It has put the fun back into mowing lawns (if there was any kind of fun to be had in the first place). Good workout, easy to push, cuts pretty good and is easy to store. Best of all, there is no gas needed! Bling.. in my pocket.

We have a fairly big back yard and I didn't have to stop once to empty a bag. Its quiet, I can still hear my kids playing or my wife talking to me while I zoom back and forth. One thing to be aware, its not a fan of tall weeds and taller grass may take a couple of passes, but if you keep up the lawn like ya should, that shouldn't be a problem.

I cant believe I just got excited about a lawn grooming apparatus and implementing it in my yard care routine... wow.

Ah!

Note to self....

Lawnmowers need oil to keep running.

Summatime

My wife is talking about moving out to the country... which I'm actually cool with. She has found some awesome houses, which are much cheaper than in "The Valley". I think I could handle wearing some overalls and playing a jug on the porch. Out of all the places we have considered moving too, I get the best feeling from this one. The only thing that would temporarily hold us back is that I have to find a job out there. Now this place isn't way out in the sticks, its actually some what of a college town and jobs in the technology sector are out there, so hopefully it wouldn't be too difficult to find something. I hope it all works out, it would be a great experience for the kids and a chance for us to get out the city type life and get into something a little more easy going.



Watch Surf's Up you dirty trash can full of poop.
