Thursday David had hired an employee to move some topsoil for him from his driveway into the front yard. The guy had said he would be at the house at 9, but didn't show up until 12 when us girls were getting ready to go to town. They were working pretty hard when we left, but almost right after we pulled out of the driveway, David called and said the two guys had called and said it was too much and that they quit, after doing not more than 3 wheelbarrow loads. So us girls all felt really bad for him and volunteered to help when we got back from town. So as soon as we all get back, we race inside and change clothes and start shoveling dirt. Our first attempt pushing the wheelbarrow full of dirt up the hill to the front yard was pretty hysterical, but soon we got the hang of it while David went to get some more shovels and another wheelbarrow from his dad. We did have a little mishap where the wheelbarrow full of dirt fell on poor Becca while were attempting to push it up the hill. Soon David returned and we girls filled the wheelbarrows while David carted them to the front yard. We kept this up for a couple hours, and got about a third of the dirt moved.
For all our hard work David treated us all to fish and chips at By The Beach...
