Kids, Dogs, a friend, and a four mile walk.

Today was a good day, a busy day, a day to remember. I went on a two hour walk with Alyssa, two five year olds, Elijah and Taytum, and two dogs, Tucker and Tor-tilla. Oh, and I went to the police station. Speaking of the police station...that was quite the experience and here is how it went.

2:58 pm I pull into the wrong police station parking lot, the one only police cars are allowed to park in.
2:59 pm I pull into the correct parking lot, park, and turn off the car.
3:00 pm I walk into the police station. There is glass wall that separates me from any contact which could have possibly have happened between myself and the police officers and receptionists.
3:01 A police lady with a severe case of gynoid obesity (this means her butt and hips were the size of Texas for all you people that didnt have to spend a whole quarter of your life at college in a nutrition class). Now this lady and I had an interesting conversation, and this is how it went.

Lady: What can I do for you? (read in a mean, grovely toned voice)
Me: I need to get fingerprinted, is this the place I should be?
Lady: What for?
Me: I have a friend who is adopting a child and to babysit you need a background check and fingerprinting done.
Lady: You need a fingerprint card...
Me: I have it right here
Lady: Well, it is two minutes after three, you will have to come back.
Me: (in a slightly bewildered tone) You only fingerprint till three?
Lady: Thursdays from 1-3. You will have to come back then.
Me: Ok, thanks.

I walked out of the office, didnt say another word, but just kept thinking she was lying to me, and that she must have been having a really crappy day, and that I wanted to call her a stupid ho, but that would be mean, and that is definitely not what Jesus would have done in the situation. Then, trying to forget about the whole situation I drove off to Joys house to go on a walk with Alyssa, Elijah, and the Dogs, oh, and my little tag along Taytum.

Alyssa and I took the kids on a good four mile walk up and down hills and throughout neighborhoods. Don't worry, I let them play for 15 minutes at a playground, I let them have fun. Oh, and it was at this playground where conversations like this take place.

Taytum: Elijah, do you want to play school with me?
Elijah: (in an explainatory voice) No Taytum, you won't let me be the bus driver.
Alyssa and Me: Look at each other, look at the kids, and then just start laughing.

Elijah: Let's play hide and seek.
Alyssa and Me: Ok, we will hide in here.
Taytum: I dont want to count.
Elijah: ...I'm gonna find you.

Elijah: Can I have a piggy back ride?
Me: I will give you one when we get back to the house buddy, you weigh too much (100 lbs) for me to carry you uphill!
Elijah: (In a pouty tone) But I want one now
Elijah stops walking and just stands in the middle of the park
Angela: Ok, I will give you one when we get back to the house. Bye Elijah.
Elijah stand there for a while, then runs to catch up.

Man, I wish I could get over things as fast as little kids do. It would be very beneficial at times!

The end.
