First it was Me and Pudgie and 14 tons of gila brown rock.
Then Kelly came out to lend a hand with baby monitor attached.
School let out and the kids came home at 11:20.
Then came Jax and Binky.
Then Ruth and Gregory.
Then Nevan and Trish and Mayzie.
Then Zen and Julia and Max.
It was an absolute free for all of helpers and I was so thankful.
Tommy has been working hold overs all week and timing was not the greatest for rock delivery but I had it in my mind that I would just chip away at this enormous pile and it would eventually get done.
That was not happening with my awesome friends. They are amazing and I am not just saying that in case they read my blog. Tommy got three whopping hours of sleep today and almost fell over when he came downstairs and saw that the pile of rock was down to about 3 tons.
This group worked their tails off for me and my family today. I can not thank you all enough. I am so darn lucky to live on such a loving and caring street!!!
Brian came with the bob cat to finish off the last of the rock and I could have just hugged him at that point because complete exhaustion had set in.
You are all the best and I seriously love you and appreciate all the hard work you all did for us. Even all the kids were simply amazing. We had strangers stopping and asking how we got all the kids working together the way we did. Gotta love Grammie Diane's trip to Sonic for slushies (a.k.a serious bribery)!!!
Like I promised... dinner is on us tomorrow night. Pizza party in the front yard about 5:30 people!!! Be there or be hungry and sore!!!!!!
