And so it begins. Yes the first official clean up day at the new building. There are a few items that stand in need of some attention and quite a few things that we can clearly part with. It was great to get in there and get started.
Padre and I put together a load for the dumps including the box spring and mattress that were out front. I know, it was a difficult decision to have these go as they were such a nice attraction and added so much to the curb appeal of the structure. You here of these things like the biggest ball of twine or the worlds largest thermometer. Well, had we left the mattress where it was we could of boasted the worlds heaviest mattress. I don't know that my back will ever be the same. Not only was this mattress heavier then any other known to man but it was filled with water, loaded with mold, and had weeds growing all around it. The experience was one of those that causes you to not want to swallow for fear that something toxic may get ingested. To make matters even better it started to rip apart when we lifted it. Well, no matter, we folded it like a taco and rolled it a couple of times till we got it up and in the trailer.
After we finished at the dump Padre donated his gloves to the local landfill. He was completely grossed out by the mattress as was I. I didn't part ways with my gloves. These are a special pair from my visit to Pascaguela Mississippi with the Lakeland Stake to help clean up after Katrina. I'm just not ready to let them go.
We picked Andy up from school on the way to the dump and he had a great time. We went to Landfill A and Andy got to throw away his hard boiled egg from school snack. He didn't seem to be enjoying it much so I asked if he would like to toss it out the window and that excited him. He also tossed his little plate out too. Andy had a great time talking to his grandpa. He likes to keep people well informed of life in Super Mario Brothers and usually pulls some small detail from the game into the conversation. Like Star power allowing you to run across spikes. I have no idea if that is true or not but anyway, if there were a game based on Mario trivia Jack and Andy could give people a run. Well, when we dropped Grandpa off at the Little Brick House he said "See you later bud" to Andy. Andy replied "See you later bud". Not what I expected to hear out of his mouth but not exactly surprising either. He is a fun kid.
The science project is done and ready to go. I am most thankful for that. I think I did a little too much on it but oh well. I think Natty is happy with it and is already trying to work me for a ride to school tomorrow. We live 3 houses away, please.
In other news the bedazzler queen herself, Amy, passed her test today. I guess she is now official when it comes to hair. That is very exciting and I am very happy for her. She worked hard on this and did well. I'm thinking I may need to upgrade to mullet extensions and a little hair coloring. What do you think Amy?
