Thatching the yard

Ah, yard work...how we love it so (said with sarcasm) but part of the joys of living on an acreage. We have been hard hit the past couple summers and feel like we have done nothing but cut trees and work on fixing our driveway. Still lots of work to do - but Mommy's favorite is mowing the lawn!!! Yes, I LOVE to mow! I am one of those that finds accomplishment in seeing my progress! Sunday we decided we needed to get to work on thatching the yard and bagging it. Chad decided it was time to let the girls learn how to drive the mower - I'm not quite sure I'm going to hand over my mowing responsibilities quite yet though...I'm a little anal about straight lines and as you can tell, the girls aren't quite to that point!!!
