WHAT TO TEACH A CHILD ABOUT MAGIC

Today we were in a candy store. My mother was buying me and each of my boys some candy. She a good mommy. Anyway, my six year old (Just turned six yesterday, so Ariala sis, you owe yet another birthday gift here) was looking at the various Harry Potter themed candies. He was interested in the...

"MOMMY, I NEED A TISSUE"

Xeno_x, you are not allowed to read this post. I have no problem with stranger reading about my sex life, but I really do not want my own father reading about it. Just feels weird. You want to talk about something that kills the mood 100%. Try being in the act when you get a knock at your bedroom... Sign in to see full entry.

TRYING TO GUESS WHAT THEY ARE GETTING FOR CHRISTMAS

I've been trying to get my older son (He'll be six here in just a few days) to guess what is under the tree for him. So far he is really, really off. I was always good at figuring out what I was getting and a real big snoop so it was hard to hide anything from me. So far he thinks he is getting all... Sign in to see full entry.

GIFT SHOPPING FOR THE BOYS

I am finding it as easy as can be to find gift ideas for my older son. He is about to turn six and there really is no end to what I want to get him. So the big problem there is I can not get him everything. I have to watch my spending and be a good boy, especially this year. With my younger son, who... Sign in to see full entry.

HE IS TAKING IT REALLY WELL

Some of you amy remember a little while back when I talked about how my two year old had a hernia and it looked like he might have to have surgery, btu then it seemed to fix itself. Well now our five (Almost six) year old has one and it is not going away. So far he seems to be doing fine though. We... Sign in to see full entry.

THE MIGHTY MEN AND MONSTER MAKER

Last might I was cleaning up the basement, trying to get it all organized. I have some personal reasons for this beyond just having a nice place for Xeno-X to stay when he is visiting. While going through all the boxes down here I came across an old, old toy of mine. Seriously I must have gotten... Sign in to see full entry.

OKAY, NOW THAT WAS JUST NASTY

Okay, so here I am writing my post about how great today has been so far. My two year old is playing off in the corner of my office getting into all he can, which have become used to. My five year old come back down and I hear him say 'What's that' as he enters the office. I figure I better get up... Sign in to see full entry.

THE KIDS DID GOOD AT BOWLING

They did much better than I did in fact. We spent the afternoon with a group we belong to do a 'Turkey Shoot' where we bowl to win turkeys. The kids were slow enough that in the time it took us to do two games, they only finished one. In those two games I did not break 100 in either. Now in the one... Sign in to see full entry.

KIDS, THE PERFECT WORKOUT MACHINES

I have been trying to wrestle with my boys a lot lately. I really have noticed that I do feel better if I spend an hour or so every night wrestling around and getting some exercise with them. I left them as if they were weights and runs after them and such. It really ends up being a good full body... Sign in to see full entry.
