Il est riche

We left the lights on in the van last night so the battery was dead when it was time to pick up Charlie at school. The car booster hadn’t been plugged in in a very long time and just didn’t have enough juice to get the van going.

This event meant Aidan and I decided to jump in a taxi and grab Charlie. Aidan was very excited at this idea. He sat beside me for the quick ride to the school saying taxi over and over again and how Charlie was going to sit beside us when we picked him up. It was pretty cute how he was involved and processing the events. Come to think of it, it was pretty quick catching a cab too, that’s good because I wasn’t sure what it was like here in the new neighborhood but seems fine.

When the cab driver dropped it off it was the first time I signed the credit card swipe with an Android phone. It was pretty cool, and this is definitely the future, I told him I wanted to pay credit card he pulled out his phone and presto it had a button for 15% 20% 25% tip and my signature was sent to the cloud. cool.

We were dropped off just in front of the barbershop at the end of our alley on Lawrence. The barber was giving a cut and I had Charlie look in to see the dog, birds and fish tank. Charlie was totally amazed that he had all this right there in his store front. His comment was simply wow, il est riche! What a funny comment.

We trekked home and started the dinner and night time routine: dinner, bath, reading, brush and bed. One small change for tonight though, since Mom and Julie were up in Canada visiting Nana we did pull out some fudge mixed and proceeded to bake fudge. It was a mess but fun and good. Mom watched over Skype.

Last night the boys slept in their beds the whole night without any issues. Tonight was a treat, Dads bed. This is how we sleep at 2 a.m. when Dads cleaning up downstairs getting ready for tomorrow.
