Spring Break Day #3-#5!

Day 3: Was spent going to see The Chipmunks Squeakquel movie at the $1 theatre. Then we went to Nickel City where all games are about $.50. Cheap day but the kids LOVED it.

Day 4: Weeding, weeding, weeding the entire yard. And it never seemed so big before. Hot shower, ibuprofen, and a heating pad on my arms just to get to sleep.

Day 5: Raking, raking, raking the entire yard.

And my arms feel like they're going to fall off. But then this arrived, and so did the neighbors:

And within about 2 1/2 hours, we have this!!

I am so blessed to live with such great neighbors. I lifted and helped for about 20 minutes, and then I tried one more piece of sod, and I dropped it at my feet. My arms were gone. I don't know what we would have done if these uninvited, amazing people hadn't just shown up. One of our neighbors even brought his backhoe. I really am blessed!

Here's what is left:

And now I'm going to spend the rest of the day doing laundry, preparing a lesson for church, and playing catch up on my work.

And I'll take some more ibuprofen. OUCH!!
