I found this little toy at a garage sale last week and knew it was just the thing for a certain 3 year old that has wanted a leaf blower since Christmas! It was just right up his alley! And it was love at first sight!
The first thing he said when I gave it to him and after he figured out how it worked was "I need to go to Grandma and Grandpa's house and show Grandpa my new chainsaw!" (Grandpa has one that looks very similar) So off to Grandma and Grandpa's we went. The next day we were over at Grandpa's with the new chainsaw and he decided that he wanted to go and cut down some trees. Well, after about 10 minutes he came in with big huge tears rolling down his cheeks- just devastated! We asked him what was wrong and he told us that he couldn't cut down anything with his chainsaw. It wouldn't cut. It was so cute because he thought his chainsaw was the real thing and was devastated to realize it wasn't the real thing ! I just hugged him and LAUGHED! How could you not?! We had to explain to him that it was just a toy that he could practice with until he was bigger.
So practice he has! We got a log from Grandpa's and he play's with it everyday -- and is still trying to find things that he can really cut with it. (He has already ruled out his brother ;))!
It was such a nice day that we went outside and played! Joel was over having his picture taken but Conner wasn't! So here are a few pictures of Conner too!

oh that kind of breaks my heart a little that he was so excited to go cut something down and it wouldn't work!! Sweet boy. Both of your boys are so dang cute!! Can't wait to see that little girly!
It would be devastating to find out you had a manly tool that did nothing manly. I feel for him. That is so cute. It was fun to see you Saturday!
What a sweet story! Don't you love little kids??
Your boys could not be cuter Angie! FOR REAL!! He looks great with his toy chainsaw (great job yard saling!) and I'm going to begin the nagging on baby bump pictures...starting NOW! :) Please post before Sunday---we're going out of town! :) hehe
