Last night was a pleasant one, the sun had made it's way over the mountain to the west of our house as it always does and the air was still and warm. It was a tad bit like a spring night. We were out in the yard mowing, weed eating, watering and talking about what changes we want to make in the front yard.
Jacob, my all-time electronics guru was begging me to give him a job so that he can earn more playing time(since I limit their lazy sitting-staring-at-the-tv-time.) I told him that if he got some shoes on, and got the mower and mowed over the clumps of wet grass that the riding mower missed and dumped it into the garden then he could earn more play time.
I went about my mowing when Maddy comes running to me and says, "Mom! Look at your son's shoes!" I busted up in laughter when I saw these latex shoes with fingers sticking out all over the place. He didn't even try to get his toes in the finger slots....it was a sight! Jacob always has a good idea more often than not, but this one had me thinking.
How did they hold up? Not bad. They kept his feet from getting green, but can I just say that he is one funny kid. I love his ideas. He just cracks me up. He never ceases to amaze me. He later said to me, "Well mom, I didn't want to get my shoes dirty."(which has NEVER stopped him before as he has about 5 pairs of dirty shoes that would have done the job just fine!!!) I guess latex gloves work----the bonus here---- they are cheap and disposable. I love you Jake!
