Thank goodness we had a half day with students, so that teachers could stay and have professional development- it meant we got to jet out of school at 3:00pm and get home and work in the yard before it rains . . . yet. again. (insert MAJOR eye roll!) Andrew mowed, Doug weed eated, and I weeded/picked up sticks/de-pooped the yard.
While we were doing all of this stuff, Doug would periodically try to communicate with Andrew or I. The trouble is- he would be across the yard, using hand motions to try to communicate. I can't hear you, or understand your hand motions, dear. I just nod and pretend I understand (who am I kidding? I do that even when I could hear and understand him.) Alexa and I decided to have a little fun re-enacting how we see Doug's attempt at communicating through hand motions:
 |
| This is how Doug tells Andrew to go back, do it again |
 |
| This is how Doug tells Andrew to blow the grass clippings towards the middle of the yard |
 |
| This is how Doug tells Andrew to go back, go back! |
 |
| This is Doug telling me to hop to it! |
 |
| This is what Doug looks like when he's telling me he ran out of gas for the weed eater |
 |
| This is how Doug tells me he needs the pruners. |
What a great afternoon outside!! The yard is clean, I got to poke fun at Doug, and I got to get back to blogging!!! I'd say a great day, all in all.
