Tuesday was a "regular" day but I made a startling discovery. A whisk, a rolling pin and the cool egg beater Mom and Dad got from Jocelyn Alton as a wedding gift can be used to mix concrete, smooth a road and complete necessary repairs to a section of interstate highway. Mom and Dad looked confused the whole time I has having this brainstorm but by the end they had to admit I had really fixed things and they couldn't wait to drive on the road.
Wednesday Dad left town for a meeting so, of course, it snowed. As the designated man of the house I knew this meant that I had to jump into action. Boots? Check. Gloves? Check. Shovel? Check. 
I worked fast so Mom could get me to school. I had important work to do!
Take that, snow!
Dad flew back into town on Friday and brought me a shirt from a real Chicago fire station! (The video is of the actual station and that made the shirt even cooler.) Fireman Pierce!
Saturday was an awesome day! Grant came over for a few hours and we played hard! Things started off with computer work in our fort.
Next up? Band practice.
Finally the visit ended with a movie. It was a good visit!
It was such a good visit that even Steve and Sue showed up! 
After church this morning the family took quality naps then headed off to an Iowa Energy game. I'm basketball player Pierce today!
Have a great week, everyone!Pierce
