Garbage Men

Ryan has always had this thing for Garbage trucks. He thinks they are pretty cool for some reason. Today, both Ryan and Hunter got the opportunity to act like Garbage men as they went to my firm and picked up trash outside the building. The wind blew a lot of trash over the past months in to the bushes and trees outside the firm and made everything look grimy. So, Kirby Joseph agreed to let Hunter come and pick up trash and earn money. Hunter invited Ryan to come along as well. We spent over two hours crawling through bushes and thorny trees picking up trash, but in the end the boys did a fantastic job. The collected two large bags of trash and really cleaned up the outside of the building. At times, they would get distracted but we were able to complete the task. Hunter was excited to earn money and Ryan was excited to be a part of the whole thing - though he only earned $1 but did a lot more work than that! However, Ryan did find a dollar bill while picking up trash which he was so excited about. I am so proud of how hard they worked and how good everything looked when they completed their job. They are such good and wonderful boys!!
