1 on 1 time

This morning with appointments and school activities we had to really split our time up, Trinity had an eye appointment accross the street from my work the same time Kohl had to skate with school so Trin came and hung out with me at work for a while, the girls put her to work and then we went for a nice breakfast in the restaurant. It was nice to be just 1 on 1 you get to see a lot more of the personality when she let's her guard down and isn't worried about everyone's reaction to everything she has to say. It was a nice little morning, it makes you realize all the kids would enjoy the time like that.

The Little Things

Well today was an exciting day, we had been waiting for the monthly open garbage day at the dump to finally clean out all the junk that was left at our new house when we moved in. Luckily my in-laws were in town for a visit this weekend and my father in law gave me a hand loading up and dropping off at the dump. On our second trip down to the dump I saw a little drum kit sitting near the edge of a heaping pile of junk, it was gleaming in the sunlight and I was suddenly overtaken by the urge to go and check it out. Now normally I am really against garbage picking but my young fella's have been asking for a drum kit for a while so I thought as my wife says"it was meant to be", here is the perfect chance to see if they actually will use the drums. Well you would think I just gave them a million bucks when they saw these drums, some of the parts were missing but we worked on it for a while and they were now usable. The litterally banged on those things all day, what a find. It's funny with our kids anyway they usually have more fun with the things that cost nothing, ie drums or an old cardboard box than all their toys. It's the simple little things that seem to make them happy...happy bangin boys...oh I better get a bigger bottle of tylenol I think I'm going to need them. LOL
