Concrete Front Yard

Yesterday morning the construction guys came to the house at 6:30am. I was ready for them. The concrete mixers were soon to follow. Yeah. We needed two full mixers to fill our new driveway expansion.

Little Kat had his friend spend the night. I woke them up at 10:00 am. Then I went back down to keep watch on the construction guys. Then it was an hour later and I did not hear from Little Kat. The guy fell back asleep on me! He complained that his friend's phone kept going off all night.

After the driveway was complete, I took Little Kat shopping. We returned some jeans, bought some replacement jeans, and bought Little Kat two pairs of shoes. He got some updated Nikes that look like his current show but are bigger and a different color. He also got some Vans at the recommendation of his friend.

We dropped Little Kat's friend off at his house. Then we picked up some chicken, and proceeded to spend the evening helping Momoko get her classroom in order.

College Hunting

On Friday I rushed through work. The family planned to visit a university this weekend. It has a Pre-Vet program for Kit Kat. The university happened to be hosting an open house on Saturday. We left the house around 3:45PM on Friday. That put us in the middle of rush house traffic.

I drove Momoko's car. After traffic calmed down, I pulled over and tried to get her to take over the wheel. No luck. She only got a coke out of the trunk. We drove into the college town and found a lot of construction going on. There were also many one way streets making navigation difficult.

We made it to our hotel and checked in. The room looked nice and had a pull out sofa for Kit Kat to sleep on. Then we scoped out campus to locate the check in location for Saturday. We also figured out where we were parking. This had to be done Friday night because open house started early Saturday morning. Then we got some soup at a restaurant down town. To be continued.
