Matt's birthday is tomorrow - yours is Monday!

No, I agree, no old men with drainage bags at dinner! That's just gauche.
Tell him to take the leaky boys out for his birthday! Invite your own friends

Matt planned his day - tomorrow we go to Great Adventure and ride the coasters and hit the haunted rides at night.

I have/had my photo for the assignment but I don't like the way it came out. There's a van blocking the building and I just couldn't get a clear shot with my phone camera. Stupid me forgot my camera on the way out today. I'll put it in the car and keep it there now.

Yep!
Birthday weekend and as luck has it it will be my day off on monday instead of friday next week.

Checking to say Hey.

School it kicking my but!!!!!!

But I did get an "A" on my computer class!!!!!

Ok, back to homework!!

Today I was helped by a Pumpkin to clean a shed of rescue piggies and feed them all.

Bailey decided I had to see his Pumpkin hat, bib and green leaf shoes. Very hard to be serious with a 4 year old waddling about in orange padding carrying a box of hay in orange beret.

And what? No photo? You cannot deny us this.

I think we need pictrues for sure!!!

oh dear!
Sorry I really could have taken one too since I had my phone with me.
Bailey helped get some photo's of some paired boars we need to find homes for. He had got wet by then (it rained) and I made him go indoors mainly to get some socks on his feet!

I wonder if he will be in a good mood next week when he gets home from school. He is usually very tired and crabby.

I went to collect him from school, last week with Sarah (his mum) since she had no transport. I had to smile he came out of the school gate to her looking like a very miniature city banker. Everything one size too big (the smallest size and still too big for him). He wore a stripy tie over a white shirt and green V jumper with a black school blazer and long black trousers and a miniature briefcase! He is only just 4!

He was furious that his father hadn't come to pick him up. Sarah pointed out Daddy takes him Solly and Lacey to school and Mummy collects. Then he wanted his Step father instead because then he could go to the shops.
Sarah muttered under her breath
'I'm sure this boy is Gay, the only boy I know that likes shopping!'
He refused to get in my car. I had a baby car (he knows I call it Babe) and he was grown up now he was at school.
'That's ok Bailey, you are so grown up you can walk home'
Sarah tried again to get him in the car.
'No Sarah, he doesn't want Babe to take him home, leave him, get in the car'

We get in the car, Sarah isn't very sure. I turn on the engine and wind down the windows, put on 'PopMuzak' and look at him. The bottom lip is wobbling.
'Bailey which way will you go home?'
The wibbly road, past the shops'
'Do you need a lift to the shops?'
Sarah opens the door and he squeezes himself into the back without her even having to get out (it is a 2 door).

This week I'm his best friend again.

OH! SAAB update, No1 son is now insured to drive the 1972 V496 and after two days of not 'finding third gear' he has solved the problem. It was in freewheel.
I had said to Mark not to let him drive it in freewheel until he got used the size and weight of the car, but I don't think Mark checked before he gave him the car. Anyway, now I've shown him the simple method of finding a gear on the column, he is happy 'as Larry'.
He has set off to the weekly Biker meeting in it tonight because we are having monsoon rains at the moment!

His parting shot......'Christine would be so pissed off if she knew I was driving this'.
Mark wouldn't let her drive it, thinking it would be too heavy after all the cars she drove at work (forgetting the minibuses and Renault Trafic vans)

Heavy? Why would that matter?

Is that why he was drooling over my truck?

I just bought a phone holder on Ebay from someone named Dong.
