Cleaning Up

Wow are we sore! After mass today, we fueled ourselves with a couple of Shipley's donuts (yummy!) and began our day of cleaning up. Ryan got started with our neighbor outside by taking down a couple of trees that were already half-down, and Beth and I made piles of sticks and limbs. Ryan worked outside literally almost all day, with the exception of a lunch break and a few small breaks here and there. He made incredible progress though! I unpacked from our trip, cleaned the house, cooked, played with Beth...the usual stuff. We are both incredibly tired and sore (I don't know why I'm sore, I guess just because I'm 36 weeks preggo?). I am so thankful that I have a husband who enjoys working outside and takes pride in his lawn! What he did today would have cost us a fortune if we'd hired someone!

Yay for nice neighbors with chainsaws. :-)

Lots of work to do!

This picture does not do the pile justice. It's huge!

After- almost done!

Poor Finley wants to come out to play but can't because of the huge hole in the fence!

Ryan is such a manly-man because he wields that axe.
