or even better why it’s good to talk to your neighbors! Last night Dean was talking to one of our neighbors about how the cars were both having problems. He said he could ask his cousin to come help us this morning. Around 8:30, Dean was still asleep and me still in pjs when the guy showed up. He is replacing the alternator in our car as I type, all we had to pay for was the part $2++.00. He wont let Dean give him money for his time and work!  He said the van is driveable and that what is leaking is part of the a/c system but that he’s never worked on that before so I am thinking we’ll take it to jiffy lube today as they are open til 5 and I think they could at least confirm that it’s driveable and maybe just replace a broken hose or whatever it needs. Hoping and praying it’s that simple!! So with any luck we’ll have one if not two fixed vehicles today and can head out to do the things we needed to this weekend.
one thing we have to do today is go get a new cell phone.  We had a huge incident w/ Boaz this week, lets just say I had to call poison control, it was scary.  So I already felt like a horrible mother for not keeping a better eye on him, even though I knew where he was the whole time I just didnt see what he had….anyway…so Bo likes to play w/ our microwave. He’ll put his sippy cup inside of it and open and shut the door. I always watched him and never has he been able to turn it on. Until yesterday….I was watching the whole event take place. I had seen him put his sippy cup as well as calebs in the microwave, but was busy w/ Zeke.  When all of the sudden I heard him hit a key and the microwave started, darn buttons that automatically set and start for you to make popcorn….well I jumped up and within the 5 seconds it took for me to get from here to there and shut the door and realize it was hissing, which I thought was odd beacuse the sippy cups shouldnt get ruined in the microwave….when I opened the door and saw the problem. our cell phone was in there!!!  Needless to say it will not work ever again.  Bo has been more than a handful lately and keeps getting into trouble, I am sure Caleb did at this age too but it was just him and I could keep up with him, but with Bo it’s hard to feed Zeke, change diapers or do anything w/ Bo because he is always getting into trouble!    I dont know what we are going to do to keep him from getting to the microwave but we need to do something soon!  if the kid didnt know how to move any peice of furniture that is movable then we’d be fine, but he will move anything he can stand on to get up onto the counters, the sinks, anything he wants to get into.  no matter how fast I am it’s usually too late to avoid some mishap.  Oh the joy of having boys…
