Oh, my aching back. Hubby saw an add on marktplaats (think Dutch ebay) for free paving bricks. The hitch was not only did you have to haul them yourself, but you actually had to dig them out of the backyard and then transport them.

Dutch houses are not known for their huge yards. But after digging up something like 500 of the buggers, it felt like we'd dug up all of Amsterdam. I dug, and the kids and hubby dragged them from my pile and stacked them neatly in our cart. We made two trips, and between the warm, muggy weather and the (for me) unusually hard physical labor, I'm pooped. I smell like something that ought to be out in the barn as well.

Arg. Where, oh where, is the Tiger Balm?

Offered without comment, except to say that's it's awfully damned cute.
