Embarrassing Moment #251
The following embarrassing moment occurred last Sunday.
We were at church and the kids had been surprisingly good for a change. No fighting or causing too much ruckus. The Wife and I were beginning to think that we had made it. Time for the closing prayer.
During a small pause …
Nine One One
So Thing 1 decided that he had enough on Saturday. He just couldn’t take the oppression anymore. Thing 2 was monopolizing the TV watching ?Star Horse? and Mom and Dad were ignoring his pleas for some Wiggles action. So he took matters into his own hands.
At least that’s what …
5 Years Ago
Has it really been five years since 9/11? It still seems so clear in my mind that I find it hard to believe that much time has past. I remember being glued to the news channels for days on end just trying to soak up any information they were giving. …
Trust Me on the Sunscreen
There was a “song” that came out a few years ago that I have been thinking about over the last couple of days. It was called Everybody’s Free - To Wear Sunscreen. I have been pondering its wisdom over the weekend due to the fact that I am suffering …
Another First
One of the best things about having kids is getting to participate in all of those important firsts. The first steps, the first words, etc. Well, Thing 2 reached one of his important firsts today with the help of Thing1. He got his first head injury. (Pics are available)
…The Big Oh-Four
I have been a little busy lately. That’s why I haven’t posted anything for a while. But I had to do this quick post for Thing1. He turned 4 yesterday and is getting bigger every day. The lucky little bugger is really stretching out this whole birthday thing. He had …
And a Debilitating Disease it is
I was out running a few errands the other day with Thing 1 and we were having a little chat about things. Talking about his pre-school and other things like that. It was during this conversation that this little gem came up…
Thing 1: Jace is sick.
First Snow
We got our first snow of the season over the Thanksgiving weekend. On Saturday we woke up to a blanket of fresh snow and more falling. Unfortunately, we were a bit unprepared for snowy weather. A trip to Wal*Mart solved that and the kids got to go check it out …
Happy Halloween
Update: I have (finally) posted the pictures. Hey, better late than never.
Happy Halloween everyone! Just a quick post to say what I…just…um…said. Anyway, I also wanted you to know that in a fit of creativity I told The Wife that I had the perfect costumes for the kids. …
The Hazards of Potty Training
Last week, Thing 1 had the opportunity to learn that this whole potty training thin is an extreme sport. There is an element of danger that he never expected and a degree of difficulty that he had not anticipated. You see, he has one of those little training tiolets that …
Belated Season’s Greetings
So this is a little late, but I was pretty busy during the Holidays. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. I certainly did. Did you get everything you wanted? Good. I got a lot of new books and movies, and a gift card or two that I will …
Scared of Santa
You just have to laugh at these pictures from the Scared of Santa photo gallery. Thing 1 is in this stage and it makes the Holidays so much fun. He seems fine with any Santa that is smaller than about 12 inches and can be carried. Anything larger than …
Sick…and Tired
It has been quiet around here again. Well, there’s a good reason for that this time. It has been two weeks now since Thing 1 and Thing 2 have gotten sick. First it was Thing 1 who was keeping me up. And wouldn’t you know it. the little bugger learned …
Ode to the Snooze Button
Having kids changes your life in ways that you can’t possibly imagine. Everybody tells you this as you are expecting your first child. The problem is that you can’t fully appreciate this until they arrive, and by then its too late.
There are a lot of things I took for …
Finally, more pictures of Things 1 & 2
Okay, so I slacked off a bit on this lately. But I have finally added some new pictures of the Things (both 1 & 2). They are certainly getting bigger and cuter every day. I have some movies of them that I will try to get up soon. I promise…
