Repeat and Re-repeat.

no kidding

i met our neighbors daughter the other day
she was home from college and was mowing the lawn

i walked over to introduce myself and she chuckled at the thought she had come home today, and her dad had put her to work right away
i pointed over my shoulder at my 8 and 4 year old who were picking up downed branches so i could mow my lawn and said, "yeah, its a dad thing, its what we do"


on a side note, wait till they are a little older
the way i had divided the work among my kids is the big one gets to make sure all the branches fit on the cart (thats a machette job) and the middle one gets to load the smaller branches

i, as the dad, get to drive the lawnmower around :)
