I Been Workin' On A Chain Gang

Is that a song? Or am I thinkin' of something else?  My oldest son learned about manual labor today. That is what happens when you fail a reading test, are told to re-read the book and re-take the test. And then when your parents make you re-read the book, ask you the next morning if you have your book and then tell you to go re-take the test as soon as you get to school Friday morning. And what did our 8-year-old do? If you know him, you have already probably guessed! Yup - he left his book at home (yeah - even said he had it when asked!) and then didn't re-take the test!  Let's  just say Friday night was not a fun place at our house! Bright and early Saturday morning Landon inherited a new chore! MOWING THE LAWN! 

First a little instruction on the proper way to cut by his daddy. 
And away he goes! 
Not exactly the straight line his daddy wanted! 
He definately got a work out! 
How come he can mow the yard for his daddy, but when I require a little washing of the windows they come out dirtier than when he started? I am so alone until little miss thang gets big enough to help her mama!
