CHAINSAW MASSACRE

Before retiring to bed I did my nightly routine by checking all the doors to ensure that we were locked tighter than Fort Knox. I always look out my front window to check on our cars and the neighborhood. I was shocked and disturbed adrenaline of panic ran through my veins. I saw this image!



I had thought someone vandalized our front porch. I, like one of the dumb people in a scary movie, immediately opened up the door and stepped outside. YES, I would be one of the first one's killed off. But, if I was watching it perched on a couch shoving popcorn and peanut MM's in my mouth, I would be screaming, "YOU IDIOT!"

Back to me... I realized that while napping I wasn't dreaming at all about sounds of a chainsaw. It was happening in real life. Innocent bushes being mutilated by a crazed man.

Earlier today we had discussed and had an estimate of fixing our front porch and pruning our trees. We also talked about landscaping and curb appeal of our home and the changes we would implement.
I THINK these changes may have just moved up on the PRIORITY list! LOL


Ok, this one is TOPLESS

I know Mr. Incredible was excited to use last year's Christmas present but do you think he had some suppressed feelings that could no longer be denied and he took it out on our shrubbery??

I MEAN, I'm just sayin! I haven't seen the back of the house yet. But, let's just look at it this way.

The difference between a GOOD HAIR CUT and a BAD HAIR CUT is 2wks.

What do you think the difference between good landscaping and FAIR landscaping is??

TWO seasons??

I'm just sayin.... I sure do LOVE you, MR. INCREDIBLE! I appreciate all your many talents and abilities.


But, honey you are not Bob Villa or Mr. Landscaper. I sure do appreciate you for TRYING!

Wait the hubby did THAT and didn't let you know?!! Okay MG you soooo need the book I wrote about at Halloween, you would so be killed in the horror movie!!tsk tsk!!

HaYn Mama said...

That is way too dang funny... my dad does the same thing but my mom doesn't lovingly tell him how not so wonderful his yard work is! Ha

Miranda said...

You describing it is cracking me up! Is he ok? That's exactly why we don't have landscaping in our yard, that's how it would look after I "fixed" it or touched it up. Hehe.
Be sure and let us see his finished product.

Jan said...

Wasn't there a horror movie involving a chain saw. I am a little scared here :)

That really is quite amusing. You got to love a man in the yard trying his best. Mawahahahaha.

Could be a new fad. Pretty soon everyone on the block will go with the short top look! LOL m

I cringe when Luvpilot brings the chainsaw out and starts trimming. I have to run outside and try to tactfully tell him not to take off too much. Maybe we should enroll them in a landscaping class?

Wonder Woman said...

This is too funny! Superman and I always play "scary movie death" and whenever someone says, "You stay here. I'll go check it out," or "Go ahead, I'll catch up," or some famous last line of a zombie movie, we say that person just "scary movie died."

You scary movie died! Too funny. Your bushes also scary movie died. I would say you're correct in thinking Mr. Incredible had some pent up frustration!! =D

Lynn said...

Glad it wasn't a scary movie come true...except for your landscaping! Way to go Mr. Incredible! Should his other name be loggerdude?

I love reading your blog; I laugh, I cry, I ponder, but most of all I feel the love you have for your family.

Shelle-BlokThoughts said...

That is too funny!!! lol!

Pancake said...

Thats pretty funny... Hopefully they still have the curb appeal when everything is all cleaned up! maybe you could glue some leaves on???

Sher said...

Yikes! So, did he accidently chop down your porch too?

Scrappy Girl said...

Wow! Maybe next Christmas you should just get him some socks!

gretchen said...

makes me think of steve over the holidays and bill shooting him with the airsoft guns out the windows!! Steve kept trimming until there is nothing left of my mulberry bush... Oh and by the way our dead left over tree limbs are still in the front and side yard...kinda reminds me of our corner round!

OHH MG...I think Mr. Incredible has too much time on his hands...poor thing!!

Hide the chain saw before too much more damage is done!!

Anonymous said...

Mikki said...

Um, yeah. Edward Scissorhands he is not.
A for effort?

Janiece said...

I laughed as I read your post!

heheheheee

It is great when we has incredible men in our life that are willing to try to fix and repair on their own!

Jen said...

I think he just got done seeing the movie SAW...I would have freaked if I didn't know ahead of time about this! You have much more patience than I! But I bet the end result will be beautiful!

mariann and Tory said...

Wow! I am impressed that he went and did the work but....wow! Thats all I got!

Lisa Loo said...

Your title and first pic had me really scared!!! Too funny!! I mean--not in a "I want him to lanscape my house" way--but very funny!

Heidi said...

Love your movie choices. Me too to most of them. The hedges? Oh my!!!!! You are so sweet to still be happy with the guy.
