Although babysitting Ashley is usually a fun thing, Dane was the lucky one that got the shift when she was tired and hungry. Since she won't take a bottle that makes calming her down a little difficult... Ok, I lied. It makes it really difficult.
By the end of the evening Dane was a little worn out... or something? I can't explain everything he does!

Getting Tired
Do any of you fellow Provo-ites remember January 21st and that horrible windstorm? Unfortunately that storm was the cause of a big head ache for the Swensons.
Next door they are remodeling. The roofing company is apparently made up of a bunch of idiots. They left a ton of roofing nails loose on the roof. These nails have an “umbrella” like attachment that gives it lift with the slightest breeze.
So the next morning along with limbs down there were nails strewn across our driveway. At first we didn’t see all of them, we just saw a few that were by our stairs. I drove Dane to class that morning, returned home, got ready for work and I was heading out when I noticed one of these nails in our tire. It was poking out the edge of the tread. I though there was a chance that it hadn’t penetrated the whole tire yet so I pulled it out… woops. Air started to “wiz” out so I pushed it back in to plug it up. I inspected the other tires and found that there were two other nails in our tires! So ¾ of our tires were unfortunately out of commission. I had to get to work, so off I went. During my lunch break I ran over to Walmart to get the tires patched. Considering the placement of the nails in the tires and that the tires would need to be replaced in the next little bit we wound up with 4 new tires. Our neighbors both wound up with 2 nails in their tires. They got away with patch jobs.
