6yo is Now Officially 7yo

Well my oldest turned 7 today. It is really hard to believe it has been seven years since I held him for the first time. The day he was born my world changed forever. It was now longer about my wife and I it was about our family. This little peanut [...]

Time Sure Flies…

Well the last few days have been rather busy. Tonight is the Beach Party for the boys birthdays and the prep to get here has kept me rather busy. Friday night My folks, a Great Grandmother and my MIL stopped buy to give the boys their gifts. Since tonight’s party will be [...]

Everyone is a Critic… Even a 3 Year Old

Yesterday was one of those days that just pulls at your head. (Hair if I had any) 2 year (soon to be 3 BTW) was up most of the night before making the day rather difficult. We had swim lessons and soon to be 7 year old had a great time as usual [...]

Swim Lessons, Work and Bicycles…

I Am The Cool Dad

When The Toy Clutter Needs Cleansed!

“Were Does He Get All These Wonderful Toys?”
Toys Toys everywhere and not a spot to think. As the toy clutter begins to over run toy boxes, the closets, the kids rooms and the house when do you fight back? As the kids get older the toys change, but what about the toys left [...]

Late to Bed Early to Rise…

The rolling thunder and pouring rain made 2yo not remotely interested in bed. By 9:00 the storms had calmed down and it was time for bed. The storms also made it difficult to work since the power kept blipping restarting the system. After a while I gave up and turned everything off [...]

Playdates, Crock Pots and Almost Bumps

Tuesday we had set up a play date for 6yo. One of his friends came over and they played XBOX, Action Figures and of course a number of weapon type games. The Sky was dark and threatened to rain, but a few drizzles and some rolling thunder was all for the day. [...]
