I WANT WHAT HE HAS

It is really getting crazy at my house right now. Our five year old wants everything either me or his little bother has. He is not too concerned with his own stuff, which he seems to loose interest in fairly quickly. And of course our two year old will always want to play with whatever it is his big...

GOT THE BOYS TODAY

This is a daddy day for the boys. Not sure all of what we are going to do, but I need to go and figure out something to get the wife for Mother's Day. I really have no clue as to what to get for her. But It will be fun no matter what. It looks like it will be a nice day, so at some point we will... Sign in to see full entry.

HE IS SUCH A LITTLE SNEAK

Our two old is really a sneaky one and he knows it. His big thing right now is to move anything he can find around in order to get into CDs, tapes or DVDs. Last night I had to take him down and moved various objects away from him. I funniest was in his own room. We have some plastic tubs with... Sign in to see full entry.

THEY WERE GOOD, FOR THE MOST PART

As many of you know I was away for most of this last week to Indianapolis for the big Star Wars convention. This was out first real family vacation with just the four of us, me, my wife and the two boys. Not really sure how we survived with out the grandparents along to help, but we made it. All in...

NOT SURE WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO WITH OURSELVES

Tonight my parents will be watching the boys. I have to work tomorrow and my wife has classes to go to all day. Neither one of us will see our boys for over 24 hours. We figure we will go out and have a date night, even though that is not something we are both that big on. We've done it before, but... Sign in to see full entry.

GANGING UP ON MOMMY

One of the nice things about having two boys is that it makes it real easy to gang up on mommy. Last night she had just read them a bed time story and the five year old started to tickle her. The two year old joined in right away. Well my wife started to call for help. So I showed up and started to... Sign in to see full entry.

THEY KNOW WHO IS IN CHARGE

Last night I tried to get to bed early since I had to work today and left it up to my wife to get the boys to bed. Well I heard her having a hard time with them, which is not unusual. Neither one likes to settle down and get ready for bed. Well I got up to go and help her out. As I approached the... Sign in to see full entry.

HE TRIED TO CHANGE HIS OWN DIAPER

Our two year old is very independant. Today I put him down for nap. I guess he must have woken up and decided he needed a freash diaper. I heard him crying so I went to his room to see what was wrong. He was half naked, stuck in the lower part of the changing table. His pants were right next to the... Sign in to see full entry.

THE HEALING POWER OF A CHILD

Many try to claim that God heals, but I have seen much more evidence that a child can help to heal just by being there. The biggest proof of this was just a few months ago when my step-father had his latest heart surgery. He was not feeling very good afterwards. He just did not have energy and was...

KIDS AND DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME JUST DON'T GO TOGETHER

It is hard enough to get my boys to bed at night, but last night was about as bad as it gets. For them they were being made to go to bed an hour early and it showed. They just were not even close to being sleepy at that point. Hopefully it won't take too long to get them used to the new schedule. I... Sign in to see full entry.
