45 Minute Ride, Trailer and Nap…

The sun was shinning bright with a very slight breeze blowing. After we did our morning routine and took 7yo to the bus it was time to get out and ride. With the weather the last couple weeks being really bad and potty training it has been difficult to get out much. [...]

Just Call Me Mister Grumpy…

The morning started rather uneventful. I woke 15 minutes before my alarm and was able to get 7yo moving and his lunch packed without a problem. By mid morning it was time for 3yo and I to go to the sports store and get the grocery shopping done. After reviewing my [...]

First Day Of School

The alarms go off and everyone is stirring. Today is the first day of school. Both boys were actually up rather early and seemed to be excited. I think 7 yo is a bit ready to go back and 3 yo is just excited that everyone is doing stuff. Breakfast was [...]

7yo and I both use a 30GB iPod Video I bought last year. I have converted Spanish Homework CD’s to be used on it as well as many of our movies. This works [...]

Tiny Vampires and Tiny People

They came out in hordes attacking everyone in sight. The little monsters were after blood, my blood and every kid on the field. 3yo shouted at them and everyone fought them off, but in the end the little bloodsucking mosquitoes were winning. Last night was football practice and the wife was working [...]

Day 3 in the Potty Training Trenches…
