It was nice to sleep in this morning. It was a bit needed after the week. Looking forward to a little after church nap tomorrow, well, maybe. Anyhow, we had a fine day. Started out with a bit of cleaning. Set Jack up in the bathroom, he's a toilet cleaning pro, and taught Andy how to operate the vacuum. He did a fine job helping to vacuum. I thought as we were working on it that I should get a picture of him and write a little something about it in the journal. Vacuuming is a very important day in a kids life. So important that I have no idea when I learned how to use the vacuum. See, mom should have been keeping a blog way back then... Well, I don't remember when I learned how to use the vacuum but I do remember Grandpa Jim staying at our house and teaching me all about good vacuum lines in the carpet. He was thorough and I wanted to vacuum the same way he did. Some days I might approach his standard. Andy, well, he needs a little practice but for day one - fantastic.
We did a few things around the house and took care of a little shopping. All together somewhat relaxing. This evening however, out came the yard equipment. I ended up with a number of apples on the ground and that gets pretty nasty with the edge trimmer and the mower. I decided to rake the apples off the lawn. When I got there I started shooting the apples off the lawn with the rake then thought it would be better with a hockey stick, it was! Cleared the lawn with several good shots and then I was putting it away and Andy came out and asked what I was doing. I told him, he thought it was cool and wanted to try. We went for it. He struggled with the hockey stick and gave up. I picked up the stick and started clearing the rest off the grass when all of the sudden I was smacked in the head with a rottenness apple. That started a fantastic apple battle between Andy and Myself. We had a lot of fun. Andy would throw apples at me and I would shoot them with the hockey stick at Andy. I know, simple pleasures but that is good. We had a lot of fun. I highly recommend clearing fallen apples off your lawn with a hockey stick.
