Being Busy
Today was a fairly busy day. Early on I watched the boys while Sue went for a hair cut. Each of my boys has his own quirks and it is a blast watching them do whatever it is they are doing. I don’t think Dominic is feeling well. Today he was a playful little boy one minute and a screaming mad boy the next. He would take naps periodically throughout the day but not enough to really get a rest. We took off around noon to go to Roba’s Family Farm. Late September, early October is one of their key times because they have a huge area of pumpkins for purchase, a little petting zoo with goats, sheep, bunnies and others, and some delicious apple cider….I’m talkin’ D-licious! We ended up picking out 4 pumpkins, two around 5 lbs, one white one around 9 lbs and our large one at 16 lbs. The boys both had a great time.
We went to my grandmother’s house for a little visit. I left with my mom to go over Pop Pop’s to clean things up. I cleared out the fridge and any food in the shelves. There is so much stuff in the trailer and sheds. I found the harmonicas my grandfather and I used to play back when I was a wee. I think my mom has a picture of me sitting on my grandfather’s knee and we were both playing. From there the whole gang went to Ruby Tuesday’s for dinner. Dinner was ok, my mom ended up leaving because she was feeling ill and Dominic started getting very angry.
We then cruised down to Circuit City and bought a new digital camera. We went with the Canon PowerShot A590 IS 8-Megapixel and a 4 GB memory card…which was on back order. OI! The price was right at $129 and it has all the features we really need. Our other camera just wasn’t cutting it. It served its purpose for about 5 years now so we figured we should do a little upgrading. We took a little walk down to AC Moore and returned a puzzle or something…I really don’t pay attention because my wife is in charge of that stuff. Then we drove over to the Home Depot. All I got was a flat-free wheel for our wheelbarrow. But we got another present while walking around…Dominic filled his pants to the brim and over. For a 10 month old boy he is pretty big but the stench from this BM was of someone 30 times his age. I kept getting caught behind him and Sue while walking down the aisles and man I felt close to dry heaving. But it seemed to make him feel better so I dealt with it for a little while longer before ordering my wife to take him to the van to get changed. I thought I was in the clear from having to deal with it but after checking out and returning to the van I found that Sue was just starting and I had to hold Dominic up while she peeled off his clothes and diaper. I’ll not get into any more details about this but lets just say it was very very rough.
