Work Day

Today was a full day! It started out with a little house work, followed by the kids' favorite, a project for kids at Lowe's. I've attached a few pictures below. After that, we worked in the yard, getting dead stuff trimmed back for Spring, killing weeds, and just generally spiffing up. And before you think I made my almost-40-week-pregnant wife work outside, know that it was her idea, and she was more than half-hoping it would make something (i.e.- labor) happen...

I took Peter and Sydney to the coin operated car wash here nearby and washed both cars, just because it was a beautiful day and it seemed like a good idea. Maybe not so much after letting Peter and Sydney take turns with the power-spray nozzle, but oh well...

Here are the photos of Peter and Sydney working on their projects at Lowe's:

Unfortunately, I don't have a finished product to show, due to certain technical difficulties. A certain vital step proved tricky for Sydney, and by the time she asked for help, it was too late to salvage. I tried Peter's myself, but the key piece split right in half when I put the nail in. Alas, maybe next time...

Speaking of next time, I wanted to post before and after shots of the garage organization we did two weekends ago. It's not perfect, but it's usable, and both cars fit in the garage now!

So you see, being productive when you are almost 40 weeks pregnant is possible! Just always remember the most important thing. What's that? Here's Peter to remind you...

Safety first!
