Service

It was a weekend of exciting times! 

 

On Saturday, Wm finally started his service. I had asked him what he wanted to do and gave him some broad examples: helping kids, the homeless, people who were ill, older people, etc. Wm is definitely my evil kid.

Me: Kids?

Wm: Nah.

Me: Ronald McDonald house - or other sick people?

Wm: No.

Me: Homeless people?

Wm: No. I don't like homeless people.

Me: Uhhhh.

Wm: I like animals better than people.

SO - I set up our training to be volunteers at Friends of the Shelter (we can't do anything there until we've been through training) on Feb 10. And, on Saturday, we went and walked dogs and tried to hang out with some cats at the Humane Society. It was a big win for me because Cat Person William finally admitted that the dogs were more fun! He said the cats just stared at him, but the dogs were happy he was there and to get a walk outside. I completely fell in love with one and totally would have taken him home if he hadn't been adopted an hour later. Suzanne, possibly in the market for a canine companion, came along. And, I THINK, had fun!! Of course, we had to brunch first. As one does.

Hoodie that Steve got me! Love it!!

My favorite guy: Ozzy, Prince of Barkness. I wanted him to be Flip's new BFF!

Then, more big news!! I have been convinced Flip is lonely and depressed. We took him to a really big and exciting dog park and he was soooo happy to frolic with friends! He was SO CUTE. When we first took him off leash, he would only stay right by us. Then, he would venture away and come back to check in every 2 minutes. After 15 minutes, he was tearing around with new friends like a maniac! The actual news is that Steve has agreed to foster dogs!!! WHEEEEE!!! I am filling out our application today. Flip will always have a little friend and we can help out doggos in need. I'm pretty excited about it.

Finally, the last big news is that we saw a house on Sunday and put in an offer. It is very unlikely we will get it since they had 25 showings in one day. And it's in The Fancy Part of The Ville. But, it was pretty nice!! So we figured we'd give it a go. We find out by 9pm today.

Last thing, Wm cracked me up this weekend. He goes, "do you and Pop ever kiss so that your lips actually touch right on his lips?" And I was like, "DUDE. Yes. Of course. You've seen us kiss a million times." And he goes, "But, like, RIGHT on the OPEN lips??" When I told him yes, he goes, "EW. You're going to get ebola."
