Taking the Scenic Route

Fixing the Car, again.

Yesterday we noticed a serious amount of black smoke rolling out of our car and, of course, called my Dad.  He came up today to look at the car.  Zane got so excited when he sees Grandpa out there fixing the car.  He quickly went over to help.  You can see little grease smudges all over him..lol. 

After Dad fixed the car, we went to Fazolis (fast food Italian) and Zane carefully ate his entire kid’s serving of Fettuccini Alfredo with his fork.  It was so sweet to see him concentrating so hard trying to get the noodles to stay on the fork.  We normally just order a Papa Murphy’s pizza (take and bake yourself) because it is really cheap, but Dad thought it would be a good idea to give him another opportunity to behave well and see that if he behaves appropriatly, he gets to stay and join the fun.  It seemed to work…at least he behaved.  Thank goodness all went well.

We gave mom one Italian charm we finished for the shop, and she gave us 3 more to do, and there are two more on their way in the mail.  WooHoo!  Business is picking up for us.

That’s Grandpa out there!

Let’s check this out

Grandpa’s helper

Fixing the tire (check out the little grease smudges. hee hee)

He brought the rachet wrench to Grandma, had her hold it, and used his screwdrivers like drumsticks on the wrench.
