Work weekend...

Ruby and Alice were real troopers last weekend when Chris and I worked all day around the yard and garage. They rode their bikes, pushed each other around in the wagon and begged incessantly for treats. Here they are with their tasty popcicles. Chris managed to give the whole yard a face lift by leveling the huge hedge in the backyard. He actually out used his hedge trimmer and had to get a new one in order to finish the job. I love how nice it all looks as a result of his hard work. He got a sunburn, it was pretty warm!

The hedge on the right is done, and he's working his way down the left side. See how scraggly it was before? It looks so sharp now!

I had lots of random things collecting in the garage. Every time I know that I need to give someone a ride somewhere, I panic because my van is always a mess. So I pull the garbage out and toss it, then I grab a box or a bag of any kind and put all the things that need to go inside, and leave them in little piles around the perimeter of the garage. Chris is a wee bit obsessive about how the garage looks, so this must drive him crazy. Anyway, it took me a long time to go through it all and put it all away in the house. I found some really great things!
