Lawn Care 101

As you all know, Mommy has taken something of an interest in the yard this year. Mommy can be a little, well, OBSESSIVE is the word Daddy uses, when she gets her mind set on something. So, I've had to help out a little and do some of the yard work lately.

On this particular day, Mommy decided that we needed to water the grass, because it hasn't rained in WEEKS. So, of course, she needed some help.

Gardening and lawn maintenance is hard work. So hard in fact, that it sometimes makes your shorts fall completely off.

It's important to get the sprinklers adjusted JUST SO.

I helped Mommy with that part.

The wetter I got, the harder it became to keep my shorts on. It's ok, though. I understand that there are people in foreign places, like California, who often garden in the nude.

I don't mind helping Mommy out. Trust me, she can use all the help she can get. Plus, helping my Mommy makes me feel all happy inside.

For those of you who might prefer to see this adventure in real live action, here are a couple of videos.

Happy Gardening, everybody!

Ice Cream!

Mommy had to work today. Daddy was in charge. And that's all I'm going to say about that.

ABCs - take 2.

Isn't it sweet that Daddy is trying to help me with my ABCs? Mommy assures me that he knows them all, but I'm not so sure... I'll keep pretending that I'M the one who needs help... Shhh. Don't tell him.

The games that Daddies play.

Daddy and I like to play different kinds of games than the ones I play with Mommy. Even though Daddy tries to keep our play educational, sometimes we play so hard that I throw up. Sometimes, we play so hard that Mommy throws up. Either way, a good time is usually had by all.

Time flies.

Here are some of the videos of out trip to the zoo (which, by the way, was WEEKS ago). I got to ride the big red train, which was quite a hit! We saw lions, and bears, and penguins, and monkeys and pumas, and giraffes (my favorites) and ate a lot of junk food, and just generally enjoyed the day.



And here are some photos of why my Mommy is so far behind on helping me with my blog:

Pirates are easier to play than cowboys...

Because I know, without a doubt, how a pirate goes.

Wheee-haaaa!

Daddy and I are a little bit confused about cowboys, and what cowboys say. Is it Yee-Haw? Or Whee- Ha? We're not really sure.

We're pretty sure it's Whee-Ha.

Ok, we've definitely decided. It's Whee-Ha. If there are any cowboys out there who disagree, feel free to post a comment.

Well, moving on... Despite not knowing what the proper cowboy vernacular is, I'm pretty sure about something. My Daddy is the best horse ever!

The other thing I know for sure is that my Daddy is a really good sport.

Wheeeee-Haaaaa!
