Saturday September 29

The Young family showed up bright and early this morning :)

They were in need of some rocks....and lucky us, we have a bunch.

So we all sat out for maybe an hour or so and filled Drews truck bed with little rocks.

They are gonna need more....so we ca do this again another day too.

After a little while it was hard to get the girls to stick to it....so we had a contest.

We put Madi and Kara together and Cassi and Aubree together.

Then they had to fill a bucket together and whoever filled it first, was the winner.

And they could have a break.

Well, Kara and Madi filled theirs first.....but we think they had a few too many large rocks ;)

Anyway, Cassi and Aubree weren't too far behind.

Then they left for a bit before they came back to do it one more time.

They are good helpers....it is just so hard to work when you just want to play!

When the Youngs went home, they left Kara behind.

The girls got to play and do their own thing for a while...

But then I put them back to work.

This time we gathered big rocks.

I spent the day digging trenches for the river rock border.

We ALMOST finished the back part to the retaining wall....almost.

But it is looking good and those girls were big help.

And Kara was rewarded with a tractor driving lesson :)

Thanks Kara for all your hard work.

And Madi too.

Cassi helped out with Babysitting the little ones so I could dig and dig and dig.

Dad did a lot of stuff.....like he always does.

Three buckets loads filled with river rock and all the trash picked out of the field so we can seed it....really soon :)

It was a busy, work filled day.

We got a lot done and it feels good.

But i am pretty sure sleep is gonna feel better!
