We just had Jillian and Tor today since Bridget was at a horse show. I had a list of jobs they could do to earn some $. The first job was pulling thistles from a bank behind the shed. Then Jillian raked the path down through the woods, lots of sticks. Next was weeding the blueberry patch. Lots of weeds and thistles there too.
Tor got right in with the bushes. It was cute that Cookie stayed near him almost the whole time, mostly inside the fence.
Then it was time for lunch and Papa's nap. It was so neat that Tor made this shadow box for a Pokemon person because it reminded me of the girls always getting boxes and rocks and making scenes.
The last job was to seal the Play Fort for the next generation of kids. Tor had a brush and worked on the smaller areas.
Jillian wielded the roller and did all the flat surfaces. The used a gallon and a half to cover most of the areas.
We sure appreciated all their hard work. Then the rest of the afternoon was spend sitting outside and reading or with Tor playing the bottle game or playing with Cookie until dinner outside. Such a nice weekend!
