Oh Happy Day!

Oh happy day!

I found my missing remote tonight. It was in the box of envelopes that I keep on my computer desk. Why in the world I put it there, I'll never know. I must have set it on top and it fell into the open half empty box. UGH, that was a frustrating experience. I looked for the stupid thing for days.

It has been a busy couple of days around here. I took Friday off of work to babysit my niece. We had quite the adventure together. We went shopping, out to eat (She actually ate the hot dog this time and skipped the fries,) and went to play at Dow Gardens. Leah loves the outdoors and Dow Gardens has a nice kids garden area. We saw the big pig statue, climbed up and down the big structure, and ran through the tunnel. It wasn't all fun and games though. The gardens have a water feature that radomly shoots a small blast of water up at varying intervals out of 3 holes in the ground. Leah being the water bug that she is went over to investigate. She watched it come out of 2 of the holes and leaned over to check out the third. Only to get nailed in the face by the water. (I got it on film) We went home after that. It was funnier than heck, but I felt so bad for her having to experience getting nailed in the face.

Then on Saturday, we treked down to Grand Rapids for Leah's birthday party. First we went to the mall down there and got her 2 year old pictures taken. That didn't go well. 2 year olds don't have that long of attention spans to sit and pose for pictures. The photographer was terrible. She tried for 15 minutes of our half hour time slot and gave up. We've been to that place since Leah was born, and never have had such bad service. For our efforts, we got 3 ok pictures. For what we paid, they weren't worth it. After that, we took Leah to her house for her party. She got lots of nice gifts such as puzzles, a wagon, some clothes, and some plastic farm animals. She had to play with each thing that she unwrapped, so the gifts took forever.

Then today was a day of rest. I took 2 naps, did laundry, and played on the net. I went out and took some pictures of the coloring leaves. The weather was beautiful.

Well gang, I have to exercise and then go to bed. I'll talk at yall later.
