Getting Ready to Go

The boys were out of school today, Happy Christopher Columbus Day.  I know I was out when I was little but this is the first time the boys were out and I have to admit it could not have had better timing.  The only thing I do wish is that it would not have been as cold and dreary out as it was.
We spent a good part of the day cleaning out the van and getting it ready for the field trip coming up on Friday.  Danny was eager to help, because he was looking forward to Brandon and I driving for this trip.

When I went to crank the van though so that I could pull it back in the garage the battery was dead.  The battery in my van has been replaced three times in four years.  I cannot afford a new one, even though I need one desperately.  Last time it was almost $200.  Seriously Dodge does anything hold together that you build?

When Brandon got home he charged the battery and then backed it in the garage incase it needs another charge tomorrow.  Praying.
