The highlight of a difficult day

Despite Joseph taking the kids for a few hours I had a rough day.  Seth did not take a nap and Samantha seemed extremely defiant today.  I think Samantha was tired from the two previous nights' activities.  Friday night Samantha got to spend the night with Patti (old next door neighbor) and went to a carnival, the children's museum, and watched, Tangled, in 3-D.  Upon my arrival at Patti's Samantha broke down in tears and would not talk to me.  She did NOT want to leave and thought that I was whisking her away from Patti that moment.  Little did she know I was making a stop at a friend's house for their October Fest celebration before returning home.  So, Samantha got a little bit more time with Patti, Tom, Jamie, and Christine, who was home from college.  We left Greenville and returned home without my wallet.  Oops.  Fortunately, I drove close to the speed limit and did not get pulled over!

Today, Samantha and Seth accompanied Joseph while he purchased a used lawn mower for our "investment" property.  Joseph said the kids were great on their journey so by the time they got to me a "storm" was brewing.  We made it through the day, fortunately, and I managed to get some great photos while playing with the kids and dogs outside.

I guess he liked the mower

Practicing for his first sprint.  Do they make 
starting blocks for one-year-olds?
