Saturday, Tim needed to take some things to the Resource Recovery Park a.k.a. the dump. I guess the City wants a fancy name for their dump. Anyway, the boys wanted to go with Dad. Tim reluctantly agreed. After about an hour and a half and no sign of them, I figured they had gone to the hardware store. Tim usually makes at least four trips each weekend.
My assumption was correct. Two and a half hours later the boys arrive with Home Depot aprons. They have workshops for kids. They made football goals out of wood. Tim said they did an awesome job of hammering, etc.
Sunday, Tim headed out to work on the house. The boys decided they were going to help Dad. Both of them ran to get their aprons and stood by waiting for the chance for Dad to let them do something. 
Tim was fully aware of their eagerness and decided to let them help pull the nails out of the wood. To help pass the time, and keep them out of his hair, what’s left of it, they also hammered nails in the wood. They were helping Dad. They were big boys doing big construction work.
With great fear, I asked, “So, how often do they do these workshops?”
“I’m not sure.” Then he realized what he was saying and knew this would allow him to go to the hardware store more. “I mean, ah, everyday.”
Now the boys will want to go to the hardware store all the time too. Oh well, I guess that means I get to spend more time at the nursery.

Be glad. Trust me. My husband spends the weekend watching football (or the sport of the season). I own all the tools in the house. He doesn’t even know how to replace a lightbulb without asking me 20 questions! I’ve always wanted to attend some of those workshops. I’d love to fix a few things up around the house.
