Garry is always on the lookout for some extra cash. Currently he's saving up for an i-phone (next year). So I offered to pay him, Shelby and a buddy if they would rake the yard. Shelby has recently started getting an allowance and is saving up also for a DS game. Watch out, both will take your change and ask for more! Anyway, one of the boys got the ingenious idea to use the blower. An hr later I went out there and although there was a lot of blowing going on, most of the leaves were still in their original positions. As the sun was making it's way to the other side of the world, I reminded them that they would not get paid unless the job was done today. In the end, the blower got ditched, and they finished in time (under the glow of the porch light). The three happily pocketed their cash, although Shelby was very upset that the boys got 5 and she only got 2--we had agreed upon this before, but seeing that she was almost to her goal of $10 made her much happier. Oh, yeah, in spite of the 9 bags they filled the yard is full again. The neighbors must be blowing theirs over:)
Kyle and Garry working hard!
Shelby's baggin' them up (1 leaf at a time!)
