Interesting Weekend – Sunday Part Two

Monday, September 28th, 2009

So after the accident, we finally made it to the bowling alley.  Kimberlie and I have only been bowling together twice before — once on a double date and once with the neighbors.  Bowling just isn’t our thing.  If we feel like bowling, we have a Nintendo Wii to keep us entertained.  Mackenzie didn’t really care for it much either, but as you can see from the pictures below, Tristan LOVES it!

I hope your weekend was enjoyable as well.

Interesting Weekend – Sunday Part One

Monday, September 28th, 2009

Sunday morning, I woke up at 6:00 am and prepared for my morning run.  My training plan prescribed a five miler.  Each morning, I run past two gray cats.  They never get scared or run away (although sometimes they scare me because I don’t expect to see them).  One of the cats is missing a back leg.  As I rounded the corner onto the street that they sit on, a car comes by and hits one of them.  The driver killed the three-legged cat right in front of me!

Although he was dead, I did attempt to locate the owner after my run.  I must say that it is strange ringing someone’s doorbell at 7:00 on a Sunday morning.  I didn’t find the owner, but I did find the neighbors who had been caring for the cat.

After that, I went home and told Kimberlie that Sunday wasn’t going to be a good day.

Tristan has been being a great kid lately behavior wise.  He earned most of his magnets on his responsibility chart, so we decided to take him bowling as a reward.

We headed south on 41 towards the much-nicer-than-Macon bowling alley in Warner Robins.  As I was stopped at a red light, some idiot rear-ended me and knocked me into the car in front of me.  Once again, my CR-V (which is not even two years old) is All Boomed Up.  The at-fault driver didn’t even have a driver’s license.  Let’s hope he has insurance.

I may post damage pictures later.

Interesting Weekend – Saturday Part Two

The second birthday party didn’t go quite as well as the first.  It rained . . and rained . . and rained.  And we were outside . . . on a farm.  A farm with a really fancy playground.
