Day 275

Today was a great day for the family.  After waking up at 7, Temu joined us in bed to FaceTime with Elmo (the app is called Elmo Calls).  


Daddy, flush with fun money after winning his fantasy football league (thank you Matt Stafford!) and flush with time (starting a 5 day vacation!) took the family to breakfast at Silver Spoon, then we hit the Big Y.  As you'll see, we made grocery shopping fun.



Right next to the Big Y is the Tractor Supply Store.  Since Temu loves tractors and machines, and because we had the time, we decided to check it out.



Daddy spent some of his winnings on a new dump truck.  All of Temu's animals were given rides.




Later we did a little housework.  Temu now enjoys the vacuum.  In the old days, the vacuum was his enemy.


Temu frequently points out Mr. Bubbles, just in case we forgot he was there.



We took a little afternoon break for a Temu favorite, watching movies of himself.


Tonight we went to friend and fellow Ethiopian-American Tege's second birthday party.  We all had a great time.  Temu enjoyed his cake.
