Well, it took a lot of patience and understanding from the kids, especially Nicholas and Gabrielle and Paul pushed to get his wheel order completed. There was a lot of working during the day which is something we typically try not to do if we can help it. However, this time it was unavoidable and often occupied both of our time. Nicholas and Gabrielle were very good about trying to keep themselves occupied while Allison was napping so we could get some work done.

Nicholas has been waiting for the new Veggie Tale movie to arriving. He has been telling people for months that "in July Larry Boy and the Bad Apple is arriving". Well, it came out today and Family Christian Stores had a special celebration. So after, our Hager Family Reunion, we put Allison down for nap, Paul went back to building bike wheels, and Nicholas and Gabrielle went with mama to get there new movie.

Nicholas took the sales flyer and brought it up to the sales person at the store and showed her exactly what he was looking for. She brought him to the back of the store and showed him right where it was. He was thrilled. Then they each got a special Veggie Tale magazine for being one of the first 100 kids of the day, and then they also got a sheet of Veggie Tale window stickers which we later used to decorate the mirror in the kids bathroom.

Below you see the kids enjoying popcorn and their new movie after their bath that night with Papa.
