Work and Play

Not much much happening around here these days. I think it is the calm before the storm, and by storm I mean summer vacation. There are only 13 more days of school left, two of which are field trips!. I have mixed feelings about summer vacation.....So many fun things to do but yet the boys are home every day! German chocolates! A package from Heike. We love presents! Thanks Heike! the boys have enough sugar to last them a good long while. Jamison has been focused on extra jobs around the house to earn a couple bucks. He really wants to buy another beyblade so he offers to do extra jobs. Here he is trimming the grass that the lawmmower misses. This is what Peter does while Jamison is working. He is playing with his beyblade. He is going to be one sad boy the day that Jamison earns enough money and he didnt. This weekend we tackled another tree. We are hoping to thin out some of the pines behind the barn. There are a lot of dead branches back there...and it will free up some space for the boys to mess around in the "woods" with out getting lost in Stewart Park. Jamison is an awesome worker. He spent three hours hauling branches on the trailer and then off the trailer at the compost pile. He earned enough money for his toy and wanted to go to Target right away, mud and all! Peter did eventually start to work and did a great job cleaning out the garage. He unfortunately did not have enough money for the toy he wanted and had to borrow money from me.....now he is my slave!
