Always Exciting

Well we thought it was going to be a nice quiet day watching Riley, and it started out that way. Andy and Nikki went out for lunch and a movie with Wally and Ashley. Riley woke up just as we arrived and he was looking so cute in his jammies.

After everyone left, got Riley all cleaned up and loaded in his stroller so we could go for a walk to Publix. It was a real easy walk because we found there was a sidewalk all the way over there. It was pretty warm out but not uncomfortable. Grampa aka Dan got some snacks for during the football game.

Got back to the apartment and cooked up the snacks - potato skins and mozzarella pretzel sticks. Riley had a grilled cheese sandwich, one of his favorites. He also got to try a tiny bit of cotton candy and just the little bit he had melted all around his mouth and he was all blue.

Spent the rest of the afternoon playing and watching football. The games weren't very exciting but the Patriots won and that is what we were hoping for. When it started getting dark decided to go for a walk around the apartment complex to look at the Christmas lights, there were some very nice ones.

Now for the excitement! When we got back to the apartment the door wouldn't unlock. Did that quick look around to make sure we were at the right door. We were. Knocked thinking Andy was playing a joke on us. He wasn't. Called Andy to see if he had a number for maintenance. It went right to voice mail. So we walked to the complex office and called the emergency maintenance number and left a message.

The guy called back in a few minutes and said he would be there in seven minutes. Well it turned out to be a very long seven minutes. Riley and I walked around their building three times before he showed up.

The maintenance man thought it was just a lockout so all he brought was the master key. Fooled him the bottom knob was seized up and he had to go get the special tool to pop open the door. The tool turned out to be a 2 1/2 foot long screwdriver and he had the door open in about two seconds. He replaced the slide mechanism of the door knob and we were all set.

Got Riley into his jammies and he was out like a light as soon as I put him in his crib.

I guess we have to have some excitement in our life and if this is it I can live with that.
