The New Adventures of Lawnmower Man!

I know you have all been dying for an update on Lawnmower Man this summer, but the truth is, there hasn't really been anything to tell.

Every week Logan has been very aware on Wednesday night that Lawnmower Man will be coming the next day, and even if it is 10 o'clock at night, he will ask to go outside and pick up all the toys so Frank won't have to in the morning when he comes (Remember Lawnmower Man's name is really Frank). That was a super long sentence...

We baked Frank some cookies a few weeks ago and left them on the sidewalk for him with a note, but then we had to leave before he picked them up. As we were getting in the car, here he came around the corner with his weedwacker in hand. He entered our yard through the gate, and the kids jumped out of the car and ran to the gate to watch him pick up the cookies. Of course he was grinning ear to ear and telling the kids "thank-you" over and over.

The next week he returned the container to us with three FULL-SIZED candy bars. Oh how excited my kids were!

Now for a back story. My neighbor hates Lawnmower Man. HATES him. You should hear the nasty, hateful words that come out of her mouth about him. And she will do anything to get him in trouble. She calls up our landlady all the time to complain about him to her. I always tell her that I have never seen that side of him and that he seems so nice and sweet.

Today we got a knock at our door, and there was Lawnmower Man and his wife (Crystal) who sometimes comes and helps. They wanted to invite us out to their HOUSE to pick pumpkins from their pumpkin patch!!!

I think we just found our surrogate Grandpa and Grandma!
