in the yard

recently we spent a little time with shaun in the yard on a friday morning. you know, before the humidity becomes oppressive. the weather channel website actually uses the terms "Oppressive Humidity" along with "Dangerous Heat Index" and "You Should Move to Wisconsin Where the Weather is MUCH Cooler".

seriously, oppressive humidity! and that is certainly an accurate term.

okay, now i forgot what i was writing about. stinking humidity.

anyway, we spent time in the yard with daddy. the girls helped with the digging and wheelbarrow. lily took seriously the job of peeking around the corner in a cute way looking for daddy.

shaun, or "karate kid" as i like to call him when he puts on his yard work bandana (and this never gets old!), did not heed the "Oppressive Humidity" and "Dangerous Heat Index" warning as you can see below.

after digging and mowing 5/8 of the yard he succumbed to heat exhaustion. he spent the rest of the day sleeping and resting on the couch.

not good.

very dangerous.

i finished mowing the front yard. first time i have mowed a yard in a looooong time. i am woman hear me roar.

 i still think he looks hot (in many ways, ha!)

those forearms have nothing on pioneer woman's marlboro man.

i'm pretty sure i won't be nicknaming shaun "karate kid" like pioneer woman calls her husband marlboro man.

it just doesn't have the same effect.

 i have nothing else to say for this blog post. eva keeps singing in my ear while i type. these are her made up songs that kind of drive me a little bit crazy. she is also trying to climb on me and my chair and breathing her pretzel breath in my face. i should go parent her now.

and brush her teeth.

and teach her some new songs.

and put her back in her cage.

i'm kidding.
