Today is the Tuesday after the long Memorial Day weekend. For my money there’s nothing better than a long holiday weekend when the weather is nice. Here’s a couple of observations from ol Chewie:
- People don’t recognize the importance of Memorial Day nearly often enough. One day per year is not often enough to thank the men and women who’ve died defending this country. Each and every time I see someone in uniform I attempt to stop and shake their hand and say “Thanks”. My boys are being taught to do this too. It’s very important to me. One quote… Continue reading
The weekends are awesome. I don’t have to go to work and I get to spend time with my family. Both my boys (especially my oldest) LOVE going to Home Depot. They’ve got these awesome carts there that look like a NASCAR which allows both boys to “drive” around the store.

We’re learning all the time right? This weekend was no different. Here’s just a small sampling of stuff that I either determined as truths for the first time or reaffirmed based on very specific examples…

- The same child that is not napping and is really pissing you off… Continue reading
I’m sure everyone out there on the Interweb loves to read about my crap. I had a couple of interesting/funny things happen this past weekend… enjoy!
- A smoothie, when spilled by a two and a half year old, will splatter all over the floor, table, walls & windows. When said smoothie is mopped up it will leave a stick residue on the floor until you clean it thoroughly. You cannot simply wipe it up but the floor needs to be mopped completely. The child that spilled the smoothie will pick THIS time to imitate his parents by blurting out, “Holy… Continue reading
One Crazy Weekend
It’s Monday after a busy weekend — time to reflect.
Fun ‘n’ Stuff – A Good Start I suppose the most logical place to start would be on Friday – afternoon to be precise. I took the afternoon off to attend the last of the G-man’s 3rd Birthday parties. We decided to have it at Fun ‘n’ Stuff which in spite of their terrible website is a GREAT place to have a kid’s birthday party. It had been about 15 years since I took Amanda on a date there (talk about throwing my ‘A’ game!) and they’ve done a TON… Continue reading →
