So I just got home from work. Cousins are outside shoveling.... To help or not to help. Now with pics of him shoveling.

I can't believe they made us stay and there are still people there. My DH job let them leave at 7. I heard the mall closed down.

My cousins live downstairs and they had this huge thing at Halloween time about me decoration (putting 3 signs up in the front yard) and told me the yard is theirs.... Even though they rent also. So my DH and I said fine then they can mow the lawn (before that my DH was mowing the lawn with his lawn mower and my cousins husband was mowing it also with my DH lawn mower) and they can shovel the snow. I just came home and she is outside shoveling. I kinda feel bad.. I said maybe ill go out and shovel just once. And mike was like I wont let you they wanted the yard so bad.


If anyone wants reading material Here's the letter she wrote its kinda funny.


Heres the email.. i can't believe this.

I was hoping to have heard from you by now but I guess you were busy or
maybe still asleep. Anyway I have to get this out, I was up all night
thinking about it.
When Dan and I looked at the house we had to decide whether we were going
to take the upstairs, or pay more and take the downstairs. The main reason
that we chose the downstairs was that for the first time in 6 years I would
have a front yard and garden that I could finally take care of and decorate
on my own. You have seen the hours, more like days, I have put into making
the outside of the house look just right.You guys stood there and watched
me pull all of those weeds out of the front, plant all the flowers just so,
and I have bought all kinds of lawn and garden things to decorate it. To
come home yesterday and see that you guys had completely taken over and
decorated for Halloween really upset me. I couldn't believe that you did
that. I know that it sucks to be the ones not living in the main part of
the house, I did it for 6 years, but it's just how it is. You guys live
upstairs and we live downstairs. Whatever you want to do upstairs do, but
the downstairs and the front of the house is something that I have taken a
lot of pride in and was just getting to the point where I was really happy
with the way it looked. Halloween is over 5 weeks away, I haven't even had
a chance to change my spring/summer stuff over to fall. I have a lot of
just fall stuff to put out before any Halloween stuff. It's just way to
early to have that stuff up yet. If you guys want to be involved when we
decorate in like 3 weeks you are more than welcome but to completely
disregard all of my hard work is just not OK. You didn't even ask me what I
was doing for the holidays. It was really unfair of you to do that. Please
take the Halloween stuff down today and I will let you know when I am going
to decorate and we can all do it together if you want to. I'm sorry if your
mad at me about this, I really wish you didn't put me in the position to
have to talk to you about it. I have waited to long to have a 1st floor of
a house and it's not right that you took it away from me.

I'll be around tonight or you can call me at work and we can talk about it.
I don't want to cause any trouble but I needed you to know and understand
how I felt.
I love ya Kris, I'm not mad just upset.

If they want the priveleges they get the responsibilities go relax in a hot bath or with a glass of wine and don't worry about it.
