A New Perch for Garbage Day

It was another beautiful Garbage Day.  The "Grass Man" always comes in the morning while I am making breakfast and packing lunches.  Standing by the window is not good enough for Matt.  He insists on being outside.  But since I am otherwise engaged in meaningful work, it is now Andrew's job to sit with him on the front steps.  Matt decided to get comfy this time with some chairs.  They ate their breakfast and patiently waited until the show started.  Soon, they were joined by the others.



Matt is so excited when the garbage gets dumped every week -- time after time -- again and again.  It's truly the highlight of his week.  Well, besides Grandpa Day, that is.

Matt had one of those days.  Every time I turned around, he was busy doing something.  Not always something naughty, but always something.  Here, he had all 4 of our Firefly toothbrushes on the counter in the dark.  He had them all going at the same time.  I couldn't get a picture of all 4 of them, but it was quite a light show.

For all of you who haven't tried it yet, go to Billings Best Yogurt.  It is super fun -- my kids love it!  It's a do-it-yourself frozen yogurt shop that is over by the new movie theater.  They have great prices (they charge by weight -- of your yogurt, not you!).  It's a really fun night out with the family!
