Andy, Andy, Andy!

Busy Saturday!

The day began with a family meeting at TEN AM!! Now that is NOT a time for the Chin boys to meet on a Saturday morning, however it was definitely going to be a workday. The pool was coming out and going away. Justin had spent the night and we all ganged up and encouraged him to help out.

The boys headed out into the heat and humidity, armed with a bottle of OFF, since the mosquitos had claimed the yard long ago. It was time to get rid of our own private Frog Pond/Swamp combination. The boys soon called for Catie to take care of trash detail, picking up plastic parts, as they headed off to sell the pool to the scrap metal dealer. She was less than pleased.

She scampered off quickly to the neighbors yard, hoping not to be found, but ran into our favorite police officer Mike, who was visiting. He soon showed Catie just what happens when you run away........



I asked him to keep her handcuffed while I got my camera and he replied, "Don't worry, I don't have the keys with me." Catie's face was priceless. She informed me that handcuffs are "really heavy". I told her I don't plan on ever finding out. After the picture was taken, Mike "found" the keys.



Edgar has taken over the house! That little puppy just climbs right out of the cage while the others watch him. He then climbs up the stairs, up on the couch and grabs a toy to play with. He has just decided he is on the same ranking as Josie, Rocky and Frankie. Tonight, I decided to ride the mower and try to help with the yard. I carefully put away my knitting so no dogs would get it. I came in to get a Coke and found about 6 balls of yarn pulled out of the storage cube and a huge mess!



Joe quickly pointed out that HIS dogs were in bed with him, Frankie was locked up and it could only be.......EDGAR! He is NOT a permanent resident, no matter what HE thinks!

After the boys showered off the mud and Catie coated herself in mosquito ointment, we settled down for a load of take-out food. Mr. M's pizza, subs and China Buffet for Catie and Papa. Mike took off fast to go hang out and play some music, Andy happily went off to meet Sam, who was returning from her mission and the rest of us finally relaxed.

We worked hard today, but a light rain fell through the sunshine, leaving us with a beautiful rainbow to end the evening.
