Redneck Style

Last night Pacen grilled up some Polish Sausage and we ate at the picnic table in the backyard.  As we were eating I was telling him that I really need to get a run in.  Then the following conversation ensued:

"I know what you can do instead Mom."

"What's that?"

Then as he took a big bite of his "dog" he fanned his arm out in a motion as if indicating a large area of land and said, "Look at all this."  ("All this" meaning the 50' x 50' area of our backyard.  Size is approximation.)

"Well, I have things to do cause I have a meeting here at 7:00 so if you think it's bad then YOU mow it."

"Okay!  But I'm doing it redneck style!"

He then ran inside and put on his cowboy boots, which typically wouldn't be weird, but he was also wearing his swimming trunks.  Sure enough...he mowed the backyard "redneck style".  He cracks me up!

My redneck lawn boy!

Speaking of mowing.  I think the people who own the abandoned house on the corner should've mowed earlier in the season instead of this past Saturday.  You should've seen the smoke rollin' out of their mower!  Crazy!  Here is a picture of Pacen in their yard the day before they mowed...

Pacen is touching a piece of grass that is darn near as tall as him! 

In the picture of Pacen mowing you can almost catch a glimpse of my DIY yard project (behind him)!  I am getting close to revealing it!  I got a lot done on it this past weekend (between storms and dead drill batteries)!  Here's a picture of Pacen helping me with the very beginning stages of the project.  He is quite the helper, but he wears out fast!  :)
