You Help Me and I'll Help You

So the other day Jeff helped me wrap gifts and last night I helped him shovel the driveway.  We had to run to Home Depot for some wood for Stitches By Sturman and of course there were shovels displayed and Jeff said, "Hey let's buy another shovel so that we both can shovel the snow."  Being the compliant and sub-servant wife that I am, I responded, "Sure honey whatever you say."  Okay, I did not really respond quite like that, but you get the picture.  We got home and started to shovel the snow, I have to say, that I may have shoveled snow maybe three times in my life.  Jeff and the kids have always taken care of this little chore.  But I found that it is quite fun and we had a little competition as to who could get their side the cleanest.  Of course Jeff won because he got to use the new shovel and thought he bought that one for me.

Ya mom now you know what us kids had to do when you locked us out and told us we couldn't come in until the driveway was cleared!!!

Dear Anna, I am so sorry to hear about this situation. I will be praying that the snow subsides while you are at home so you will not be locked out.

Of course dad fooled you in to thinking the shovel was for you when really he just wanted a new shovel for himself and that was his excuse........ Paula said that sounds like something I would do.... What can I say the apple never falls far from the tree.

Oh bless you Ryan - you are on to your Dad - just wait till he tells the mom they need a new mower and come spring he will "invite" her to come and help him mow the lawn - which I know for a fact that she has NEVER done since we lived in Paola, Ks.!!! Your dad of course will use the new mower to make sure it runs okay and she will be following along with the old one - your dad is no dummy - he'll make a competition out of it so you know who will take him up on that as she is one that loves to WIN!
