Whachoo laughin' at?

I think this picture that Sonja snapped today immediately jumped into my top 10 list of favorite Zoe shots. And that's saying something, considering we just copied 1,626 of them (that's 1.14 GB, for you technically savvy) onto a new external hard drive. A friend of Sonja's had her hard drive fried in an electrical storm and lost all her photos... that pushed our back-up plan (as in back-up our files, not the second option if a first plan didn't work) into overdrive.

Just what did Zoe find so amusing? Take a look:


Daddy spending a beautiful spring day mowing the grass is funny? What do you mean, funny? I'm funny how? I mean, funny like I'm a clown? I amuse you? I make you laugh... I'm here to amuse you? What do you mean funny? Funny how? How am I funny?

Unlike Pesci in Goodfellas, I didn't cap her in the foot and tell her to go home and get her shinebox. Instead, I put her to work. 'Bout time the kid realized life ain't all fun and games.

So, she mowed some grass:

And watered some flowers:

All in all, another very nice weekend. Looking forward to the four-day variety coming up!

The two of you work very well together. The yard looks great. Could use a pair of those pink birds though. That would finish it off nicely. : )

Picture 2: Someone has to be in management- may as well be Zoe.

Pictures 3,4 and 5: Oftentimes management has to pitch in there and show the help just how it's done.

Too cute.... Glad to see you're cracking the whip at such a young age. You ought to be able to relax on the porch and watch Zoe do the chores in oh, say, 14 years or so.... :)
Enjoy your long weekend coming up.
Love,
Cindy

Well I'm glad you guys have all your your photos of her catalogued. It may make it easier when I mention for my birthday I need some copies/pictures from each representative age from her birth till now since my computer crashed in the summer and I lost all mine. (Before I bought my external hard drive.)
