Twins!!!!!!

Ha, ha, ha. I knew that would get a reaction out of you!!! No, no, we are not pregnant and we are not having twins! This week our garbage collection company is allowing everyone in town to set out large items on the curb for your designated pick up day. Most people in town are excited to clean their homes and get rid of what they now consider junk, but for some this week is really exciting. My husband is one of those who gets excited because this is prime time for for "Power Wheels Pickin" (PW). We made a family outing of pickin tonight (Do we sound like Red Necks or what?) and were successful. When D, N, L and I were out we found two PW. D couldn't resist and went out for a second lap later and found another PW. He found a Barbie Jeep that is a twin to the first Barbie Jeep we found earlier in the night. After a little inspection, D has determined that all these PW are actually in good shape. All they need is a good cleaning and new batteries. As for D's take on this hobby...He says he's doing this for Mother Nature. He's keepin PW out of the the landfills. So thoughtful.

Remember this post from last year when D started his PW hobby? Well, I should ask D for a new picture of his "collection" because it's much larger than what's pictured on this post. The grass on the lot next door hasn't grown high enough to mow a PW path in it yet, but D and N have got a new project up their sleeves. This past weekend D and N mowed a path in the grass (short grass) in the lot between our house and our neighbors house. They then smooth the path by putting dirt on top of the grass and sprinkled grass seed down. Their goal is to grow a smooth grass road the kids can drive on to and from each others' homes. Too cute!
