Monday Night

So yesterday my sister in law picked Matt up from school and along with her kids and Linda and my two nephews decided to take the kids to McDonald's to play for a little while. After work i went to go pick Matt up. When we got home theo decided to finish mowing the back yard. Matt loves to go outside and desperately wanted to help his daddy mow the lawn. As he was finishing up his dinner he turned to me and said " I gotta go outside and fix the tractor so I can go real fast." We have a riding lawn mower but it is currently out of commission so he thinks he needs to fix it. I told him he needed to finish his dinner. After a few minutes longer he looks at me and says "I'll be right back, ok mommy? i gotta help daddy mow the grass." After a few minutes of standing at the back door and trying to go outside he finally snuck out while I was trying to clean the kitchen. He finally got his way and went to help his daddy mow. I hope he is this enthusiatic about mowing when he is old enough to do it by himself.
