Weekend

A few months ago, Mom and Dad invested in the new town playground. Their donation bought them a "picket on the fence" with their family name on it. As usual, dad just expected the playground would be built on its own, and mom, dad, and Charlotte would be able to ejoy it for years to come. That was not the case. A couple of weeks ago mom signed dad up for a few hours of "community service" to help build the playground. Dad was not so excited but figured he could help out for a few hours in the morning then work on his own projects.

Saturday was the day. Dad lugged his toolbox down the street to where they were building. He had told mom he was only going to be TWO HOURS and not a minute more. This was at 8am. At 10:30 mom took a walk over to check on dad. He was still working. At 11:30 she came back. He was still working. Finally at 1:30 one of the wifes of the other guys helping build asked, "weren't you susposed to be home by now?". So dad packed up his tools and headed home with the playground only 3/4 built.


Saturday night Jasmine came over to babysit so Mom and Dad could go to dinner in celebration of Jena's birthday. She fed and even bathed Charlotte while mom and dad got ready. So nice to have an extra set of hands! Thank you Jasmine.

We had dinner at Unwined in Manchester and it was very nice. Mom didn't get her chocolate fondue though, instead she had chocalate mousse birthday cake. We will be going back to get desert some time next week.

On Sunday, Kelly, Dave, Mason, and Brodie came over so we could all walk over to the Fireman's breakfast. Dad was excited Mason was there so he had an excuse to climb all over the fire trucks.
