He should have been at work...
Instead of being at work on Friday morning, my dad was doing this....
That is him (in front) climbing a support cable on the Narrows Bridge. He was invited to do it and my dad is a guy who would NEVER pass something like this up!
Needless to say.... he DID NOT tell my mom what he was going to do before he did it. He told her all about it when he was done (and safe). (Telling Mom after the fact is a lesson he learned long ago in his Air Force days :) )
Nice work Dad! Next time, clue me in so I can go too!!!

Good service? Bad service?
I'm so confused.
Here's the story...
Today is recycle day around the neighborhood. So, we put out our huge recycle bin this morning and also stacked some extra cardboard we had from organizing the garage next to the bin. We didn't, however, take down the yard waste bin. (not sure why)
When the recycle truck came they picked up the regular bin and didn't take the extra cardboard (we did this when we moved and they took it.... why not this time?). I was a tad annoyed.
Then, I looked outside again to see our yard waste bin at the curb. The recycle dudes had walked up to the house and drug it down and dumped it for us! How nice! What great service!
Here's why I'm confused.... we have those automated cans, where the guys don't get out of their trucks-- a big arm comes down and snatches up the can and dumps it.... so, if they can get out of the truck to walk up to the house and drag down the huge yard waste bin, then why can't they take the extra cardboard?
I used to think there were 2 different trucks-- one for recycle and one for yard waste. But today this all happened while ONE truck was outside. I know this because I happened to be pulling into the driveway as he was headed down our street. Not 5 minutes later was when I looked outside and saw the yard waste bin on the curb.
So, we had superior service and stinky (no pun intended) service from the same guys on the same day!
Isn't that odd?

Pumpkin Patch '07
It was a gorgeous day yesterday so we went to the Pumpkin Patch! Mind you, it had rained recently, so there was still mud.....
Reagan is thinking..... "Should I????"
Here's the answer!
(Blogger FINALLY let me upload this! You should have seen the looks we were getting from the other parents at the Pumpkin Patch....)
The picture below is proof of just how much fun we had!!

My other crazy "sleeper"
I kept hearing movement through the monitor at nap time today... so I peeked in on Ian to see what on earth he was doing.
This is what I saw. You'll have to excuse the muffled laughing in the background... I was trying so hard not to laugh out loud.

Yoga: by Frog
By the way, I really do other things throughout the day other than stare out the window waiting for the frogs. Really.

Rain, rain..... please stay!!
It is raining today. Please don't be too shocked.
Today, it is the kind of rain I LOVE. The constant, heavy rain... the rain that you can hear through the skylights, that makes you pause the TiV0 and listen. The kind that makes great puddles to stomp in. It makes me want to stay home, pull out all the snuggle blankets and cozy up with my family.
But there will be no staying home tonight.... Why, you ask? Because THIS just opened in town and we're headed there tonight for the best food in town! Yippeeee!!!
*** update: The food was delicious, but we don't recommend going to a popular restaurant in its first week open. Let's just say that they have some kinks to work out! We will most definitely return, but we'll let them finish getting their ducks in a row first. :) ***
