The Pig & A Birthday Party

Tippy (Tyler Addy Steele) had her princess birthday party on the 15th which was quite interesting since those at the party were boys, but hey what do they know. I had to drop Tyson off at the party with Susie while I went to put the packaged butchered pig goods in our freezer so they wouldn't spoil. Tyson as you can see found a ball to play with as did Tippy. I got there towards the end and left after Tippy opened presents as Tyson was obsessed with hanging on Stephanie's back and would not stop he was also starting to deal with his asthma and so I needed to get him home for a breathing treatment. I really missed out on most of the time I would have normally spent with Tyson for the day, but the slaughtering of the pig had been scheduled earlier on and since Stephanie was busy with her family and the party arrangements then I needed to be out at the shop to help deal with the pig. We managed to get everything done that we needed to and I spent a good amount of time making sure that we had everything we needed to get the job done. It's a lot of work, as Adam and Caleb can attest since they did the cutting up of all the pork and then helped wrap the sausage a few days later when we got back to finish up the stuff that we had to wait on. Susie was a great help as she took Tyson to Family Dollar to get Tippy a present. She said that Tyson picked out on his own a pink CareBear and a movie. Apparently as they were checking out, Tyson saw a little green tractor that he wanted and after asking the cashier how much it was and Susie not having enough leftover from Tippy's gift, sadly informed Tyson and he pulled a very sad lip hung over look to which the cashier said she would cover the cost and gave it to him. I'm glad that kid doesn't know the damage he could do to many a cashier.
