best thing about having teenagers?!


I no longer have to cut the grass - it is their job!
Totally awesome!

Isn't it! My husband is truly allergic to cutting the grass! Actually he is allergic to dust, to pollen, to grass, etc. So cutting the grass was never his job. I do enjoy it as it is good exercise but I find walking with a friend more fun. And the kids can cut the grass! Whoo hoo. It is so far the only benefit of teenagers.

The other things I have found - they are moody and eat ALOT!! ALOT. ALOT. My husband has kind of jokingly asked why I spend so much on food lately and then looks in the frig to find NOTHING - as it was all eaten by the teenager! Honestly that kid eats two lunches! And is solid muscle. But boy can he eat and eat and eat.

I loved cutting the grass in WI too (using the electric riding lawn tractor that my husband had rebuilt--I let him do the push mower:D) I found it was a nice "escape"---regarding ALL the food--(as much as I like organic food, Aldi's saves you a LOT of money and hasle:)

I know - I would love to buy all organic but simply can't afford to feed teenage boys with all organic. So we do a mixture and try to have good foods - i.e. fruits and veggie --- even if they aren't all organic.
