Odds and Ends Day
December 20, 2006 on 10:59 pm | In Main |Today was a day of odds and ends. Ethan went to preschool today, but Sean is on his winter holiday break. Cortney, Sean, and I made a trip to Wal-Mart while Ethan was still in school. Sean helped pushed the cart while Cortney and I picked up some grocery items.
While leaving the parking lot, I had the bad lock of backing into the car backing out of the parking space behind me. I didn’t see any damage to my car, and the other vehicle was an older minivan, which was beat up enough that I don’t see how the owner could tell if was damage or not. I exchanged confirmation from the other owner. I don’t know if that wasn’t needed or not, as I would think the cause of the accident would have been fifty-fifty, but it seemed like the right thing to do.
Sean and I took Princess for a nice walk after the grocery trip. Princess wasn’t distracted at all by Sean walking with us, and she stayed in nearly perfect “heel” for the entire walk. With one exception — she was terrified by the running generator on the street in one of the houses. We passed the generator at the same time as the trash truck was emptying the trash bins, so the conditions were just plain noisy, but I’m guessing the generator was making more noise in the hearing range Princess was sensitive too.
Sean, Ethan, and I played more Star Wars Lego again this afternoon. We are just a couple of levels from finishing episode VI, but then we have an opportunity to go back and play all of the levels to unlock more secrets.
I took Ethan with me to Sean’s gym class. After the class, I took Sean and Ethan to McDonald’s for dinner. I kept promising the kids ice cream cones if they behaved. My plan was to give them the ice cream cones just before leaving to go home and put them to bed. Poor kids; after all that waiting, it turns out that the ice cream machine was broken. So, they had to settle for some of the cookies Cortney made this afternoon.
