Day 25...Oct 9
Today was the day we planned on hanging around the house and
that is exactly what we did. Kerry and I drove to WalMart to gets the fixings
for a nice lasagna casserole....Kerry and I would cook dinner
today....yummy
Nick and I also tackled a project he had that was long overdue
because of his busy work schedule. His boys are always running here and jumping
there...high energy boys I guess you could say. Well, racing down the stairs
and banging into the banister like they do, the spindles have more or less been
completely knocked out.
Our goal was to remove or dismantle the entire banister assembly
and reassemble them using a more boy proof technology...steel pins top and
bottom with liquid nails for added extra strength. By the time it got dark we
had one section done...3 more to go.
Day 26...Oct 10
Today we completed another section of the banister system. The
one we did yesterday was completely set now and believe me, it 'ain't goin'
nowhere. I was pleased to have some leftover lasagna for lunch ... the kids
were pleased with their peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
Again Nick and I worked until sunset and only stopped because we
ran out of hardware, not to mention that dinner was ready. We enjoyed an
awesome stir fry.
Rosie is enjoying the adventure for the most part. The problem
she has is that Karis screams loudly during play time and runs around at the
same time. It is as if Rosie wants to herd her like a sheep. It is scary to
think that our Rosie might nip at little Karis. We will have to keep an eye on
them to make sure there are no accidents.
Day 27...Oct 11
Today we go to church. This is one busy family. Kristin works at
the church doing child care, the kids need to be dropped off at their Sunday
school classes and Nick runs the slide projection for the sermon. We also had
to stop at Lowe's to get some hardware we needed to finish the banister
installation. We arrived at church with a few minutes to spare.
The church we attended is the First Baptist Church of
Prattville. We listened to the senior pastor, Brother Travis Coleman. He
did a great job delivering the message, starting with having everyone take out
their cell phone, turn them on and take a selfie with images of the
congregation in the background.
It wasn't until the end of the sermon that we
were told why he wanted us taking the pics. The goal is the share your church
experience with everyone you know by showing yourself surrounded by your
church family. By sharing these pics on all social media, the word will get
around quickly and efficiently.
Nick has a tradition of going to a Mexican restaurant called El
Patron every Sunday after church. Today we enjoyed a variety of Mexican food
before heading home for an early afternoon nap.
Tonight we watched a Redbox movie titled Home, after eating a
light dinner. The last thing to do today was review our pictures we have taken
during our trip so far. All pics have been reviewed, saved on a thumb drive and
erased from the cameras SIM cards. Now it is off to bed time (11:00 pm).
(Neither of us have changed since hanging with the kids)
