It is that time of year again when it always seems dark and the air is rather cold. 17 degrees at the buss top this morning and soon we will no longer walk there. Going to have to warm up the van and waste some gas so the boys and I don’t freeze. Luckily when the baby comes and the weather is coldest the wife will be home too. Brrrr the one thing I am not looking forward to about February… The COLD!!! According to the local TV weather man. (Tom Skilling) it looks like the first week of December will be a brutal one… JOY! Why do we live here again?
With Christmas around the corner the boys are getting really excited. They know the gifts are coming and their eyes are getting really BIG… I want this, that and the other thing. I don’t want to put a damped on their spirits, but I also do not want them to think they should get THOUSANDS of dollars worth of things… I know they are just kids and I am sure I did the same thing, but at the same time I do not want them to think it is all about.. “ME”
Last night was a terrible night for sleep with 3yo up late and then waking in the middle of the night with the wind howling. Even though he was in the room with his big brother he came storming out upset looking for us. He got into be with us, but I soon realized there was no room for me. The 3yo somehow takes up more room then the wife and I. I grabbed a pillow, blanket and tried his bed… I felt like I was Goldie Locks… This bed is too Small! So I hit the trusted backup… The family room couch!!!
The 5
- Ocean’s 13 - I watched that last night and it was not bad at all. Of course since it was borrowed from the library the price was perfect. It was far better then 12, but about the same as 11…
- Schedule - Well I am trying to get on a schedule, but I am just not a schedule type of guy. I have tried and failed in the past, but I am giving it another shot… At least until I fall on my face again…
- Sleep - Not Here… Just as 3yo gets settled again the baby will be here and we will be sleep deprived once again.
- February Fast Approaching - Soon, very soon we will see a new little person entering our lives. Everyday I just hope that everything will be alright and we will have a happy healthy baby…
- Spelling - 7yo has spelling tests each week and he actually now takes a more difficult test each week. He could have done this earlier, but unless you push him he seems to take the easier route. Funny thing is he has done just fine on the more difficult lists. A liitle prodding goes a long way…
Daily Observation: Cold, Dry, Crisp Air at 8:00 am is AWFUL!

Maybe it’s not the easy way he is going for (I think) but the way he can more likely get perfect. He is perhaps a bit of a perfectionist and doesn’t like it when he gets things wrong. In the real world not a bad trait, in the 7 year old world it can be a painful proposition. Can’t imagine where he would have picked up this characteristic
