Can't keep a good kid down
You know your kids are growing up when they start to mow the lawn for you.
Eldest did just that this morning. Actually, she mowed the front lawn. I mowed the back, which is pretty much a slope in one direction or another. She also pulled weeds and ran the vacuum cleaner after cleaning her guinea pig cage (a weekly task).
It was a good day. Wonderful Wife had to work, so the girls and I were on our own. The day started a little cool - but still warmer than we've grown accustomed to. It's been a cool May, for which I am grateful. I keep telling anyone that will listen "I would rather have it sixty-five than ninety-five". I stand by that statement.
Youngest graduated from Pre-K last night. We're telling her she can call herself a kindergartner. She was so thrilled to be graduating that she could hardly sleep. The graduating class was small - just five little scholars - but they were an enthusiastic group.
I haven't been reading blogs much. I guess that contributes to my lack of posting. On the other hand, I guess I get more done. Fair trade.
I'm using Google Desktop on my work PC and new (home) notebook. I like it. Searches are fast because of the indexing the program does automatically. Plus, the software searches program files, cached internet files, e-mail, the whole nine yards. That's pretty cool.

Can't wait until my boys are old enough to start mowing the lawn for me. Another way to burn off some of that Edmondson angst that Logan has pent up, and another way to keep him out of trouble. That is until he mows over something critical, like my azaleas, or my boysenberry bush, which in all likelihood, I expect to happen not just once, but at least twice before he's all done with it.
