Yesterday we did a lot more yard work, beginning the transformation of our front yard. We had lots of neighbors asking us why we were ripping out bushes; we had to promise amazing results in the future, so hopefully our yard man, Neal, can deliver. I'm sure he will. While Neal and I worked (mostly Neal), the neighbor kids came over offering popsicles in return for time playing My Little Ponies. So out to the driveway the ponies came. Parker and his Buzz Lightyear guy were a part of it until Audrey (in a very Audrey way) told him to go play in the garage because "that's where outer space is."
Anyway, our yard looks a bit different, but the most disconcerting thing about all that yardwork is that I am very, very sore. From pulling weeds. Are you guys all in as bad a shape as me? Please say yes.

please, scraping our ceilings for about half an hour did me in. unfortunately i had to keep scraping and i was sore for days.
yeah - when we painted 3rooms in one day my hand and arm was sore for DAYS - I was too lazy to move the silly ladder, instead I would reach and twist as far as I could. 2days later when I could hardly lift my arms I realized it was a bad idea!

I still remember Audrey telling Parker that "chubby guys" couldn't play her game. I love those little redheads. We only wish we had the weather to do yardwork (it was nice this weekend, but we're back to winter now), but leave that yardwork to Neal, hear?!
You aren't out of shape... When I am sore from yard work, or other work, I remind myself these are just muscles i haven't used in a while... especially since out here we only do yard work half the year!
Oh well, at least it makes me feel a little better. :-)
