Leon was bound and determined to play outside after school yesterday. His dad had already left for work, so I said, Okey dokey. I set up my laptop shop on a lawn chair and pulled out the Barbie Batman Lost World: Jurassic Park jeep out and let him tool around in it.
He got stuck around the electrical box so I told him to drive to the neighbor's driveway, turn around and come back. I went back to my chair. A couple minutes later, I looked up and he wasn't back yet...
I left my laptop and a co-worker on the chair and went to track him down. Apparently he thought I meant the stop sign, WAY down the long block... I walked half way and then saw that he was having trouble figuring out how to do a three point turn. He got out and lifted the car around to face me.
I wish I could do that with my car instead of doing a 44 point turn sometimes.
Then he got stuck on the grass and yelled to me that the battery had died. I believed him and started walking closer, still a ways away. He had misdiagnosed it and started slowly up the street.
Then since Ryan found out he had to close at work that night and then open the next morning, we took Leon in to say good bye to him at the pub. I got my deep fried mushrooms and Robb got some tea. Leon got candy, which he didn't like. He is the pickiest kid.
The boy goes to his mom's when he gets off the bus today and then we'll hit the football game for some marching band action! Woohoo the season has officially begun!
I guess it did last week, but it wasn't a home game.
Back to complete my 64 point turn back to work... Have a great weekend!

His battery really took him far! School and fall activities are sure upon us now. Most of the MN games were Thursday because of the labor day weekend so I could see the pregame warm up as I ca into town form work last night. The band wasn't there yet. My daughter had no interest in going to the game, even though a few friends play in the marching band. She'll likely do homecoming and that's about it.
I love reading about Leon's adventures.
I loved football season when our sons were in school, especially when Son3 was in the band. It was much more fun to watch the band than the actual football game. (Please don't let the sons who did the athletic route know I said that)
Did your heart skip a beat or two? Mine sure does when those type things happen. ;)
