FReE HATs, LaWNMOWERs and NASCaR
So Saturday was...interesting. We tried to get started off early, yeah, with four kids that seems impossible. We headed to Lowe's in Olympia to get even more bricks for our never-ending patio project. We brought one of our tires from the Tahoe with us because it had a hole in it. We dropped that off at a tire place. We just told them that we would be back in a little while cause we were just going to be at Lowe's which was just across the street. We went in, meandered around, bought the bricks, got that all situated and decided to look at lawnmowers. Now, for me its just pick one and lets go. No, it can't be that easy. Doug wanted to check all his options. So we decided to go to Home Depot. WE got there and low and behold, Tony Stewart's car was there. We really are not big fans of Nascar, but we have a son that loves things like that. And plus, who doesn't want to sneak a peak at one? WE got into the Depot and they were giving out free hats if you filled out a survey about the new Toyota Tundra. Why not? So, in these pictures, we look like a true "red-neck" family! (Did you notice the camo on the hats?)
Well the rest of the day consisted in driving ALL over OTown to find the best deal on a lawnmower. I think we went to 7 different places all together. We ended up finding one and at different Home Depot. Thank Goodness!
Oh, about our tire that we dropped off. The guy forgot to mention that they closed at NOON!! We showed up about 1:30 and everything was all closed up. SWEET! So the Tahoe is still sitting in our driveway resting on the jack looking like an amputee! Thanks tire guys.
Unfortunately, not one single brick got pounded in, not one! Because when we finally made it home, we had to play on our new mower!
