Mission Update

Mission Update:
Date: Saturday Aug 15th 2009
Time: 5:10 PM
Place: My front Porch

We just got all the boys down for bed except for Asher, mommy went to take a nap and left me with him. Finally he got tired and went to sleep. Excited I set to rest just to be interrupted by a tap tap taping on my door. When I got up and looked out I saw no one... at first. But as I opened the door I saw a short MP (sorry Bacon it just put some spice to the story) standing on my front porch.

As I stepped out he said, "I am glad I found your house." You see Bacon used to work with my wife but now he drives one of hte undercover cars on post. We played Baseball together which he as good at catching and I right field but about 1/4 the way through the season the coach started having me catch and he play right field. Drove us both crazy. Anyway back to the story.

He then reach behind his back and pulled out..... a hat and said "I heard you are looking for this." To find out his wife works up at the PX and heard that the boys had lost a train conductor hat and she had just kept an eye out for it for 3 days and then she found it! The funny thing was Anndea had gon back up there Saturday morning asking around again and she said people were getting a little rude to her about it saying stuff like "A guy already came here asking about it 2 weeks ago" but with the rude girly voice and head move. Well maybe not the head move but rude voice.

It was so exciting, but when Andy woke up from his nap the first thing he said to me in a pittyful crying voice was "I want my train haaaaattttttt." With tears rolling down his eyes I said "Don't worry Andy come here I got something for you" and proceeded to give him his at. A big smile appeared on his face and the joy and excitement that has been missiong for 3 days started to return, well at least for 3 seconds before Samuel came in and yelled "HEY THATS MY HAT!" and started to charge over to Andy and rip it out of his hands.

It took a few seconds to convince Samuel to give Andy his hat back so we could go looking around the house to find were he last placed his.

Mission Satus: Complete
