So it’s Independence Day weekend. That means (among other things), a day off work, cookouts, family and FIREWORKS! The wife absolutely LOVES them and she takes the opportunity to see just as many shows as possible. I believe this year we’ve got Saturday, Sunday and Monday evenings lined up.
The boys love them as well (though I think they’re more enamored with the fact that they get to stay up past bedtime). Being Super Dad, I figured I’d look into getting a few that we could light off in the backyard and ran across this law:
Sparklers, trick noisemakers &… Continue reading
G got done with breakfast early this morning and went off to get ready for school. Mom went upstairs to get herself ready so Super Dad was left to contend with the C-man who wasn’t quite finished with his waffles (complete with powdered sugar).
I turned my back for a second (stupid move dad) and when I turned back around C had his plate (once again complete with powdered sugar) on his head. I tell you what… I love this boy but I think he’s destined for the short bus one of these days.
He was having such a great… Continue reading
It’s been a while since I’ve said a whole lot about the boys so I figured today was as good a day as any. A couple of weeks back we took our yearly trip to Naples, Florida. The wife went down about 10 days before I did and then I went down, spent a few days and then we all came back together. Normally we have GREAT weather but this year it was unseasonably cold in Florida and we only got one day in the pool. In fact other than that one day we had temperatures in the 50s every… Continue reading
Growing up we always had an artificial Christmas tree (my mom hated it when I called it “fake”). Part of the reason we had a fake tree was dad and I were both allergic to real ones. Each year right after Thanksgiving we’d go down in the basement and pull all the decorations out of the crawl space and within a couple of hours we’d have our home decorated for the holidays.
Now that I’ve got a family of my own decorating for the holidays has become a big deal. Not sure who gets more of a kick out of… Continue reading
Reading back over this blog as I sometimes do I realized that I tend to talk a bit more about the Gman than I do about C. I suppose that’s pretty normal seeing as G is 3 1/2 and C is almost 2. That being said, I certainly don’t want you to think that C doesn’t get in on the action as well. Last weekend he did a GREAT job of reminding us that he’s just as much “little boy” as his older brother.
Incident #1
Bath time for C & G. Both boys were stripped down and waiting for… Continue reading
Not sure when it happened but I woke up the other day and I’ve got a wife of 11 years, a 3 year old and a 1 year old. The 3 year old is already through his first season of t-ball, has started pre-school and is on his second week of soccer season. I spent Saturday morning at the soccer field (in the rain) watching G chase the ball around while I chased C around. I don’t have a mini van yet but I can tell you that the back seat of my car contains two car seats. Saturday isn’t… Continue reading
Random Thoughts On A Friday Morning
It’s been a while since I’ve done of of these posts. I’ve got a couple of things bubbling around in the ol noggin so I figured I’d sit down and write for a while… comments always welcomed.
