HIS FIRST GUITAR LESSON

For some reason my 7 year old really,really wanted a guitar for Christmas. Well eh got one. I have no musical ability at all and was never able to get anywhere with trying to play a guitar, so I was not going to be any help with him learning to play.

HE'S HOME SICK TODAY, BUT SEEMS TO NOT MIND IT AT ALL

My 7 year old had a fever last night and this morning, so he stayed home from school. And what a day to stay home? He would have been doing the Valentine's Day party all day. He doesn't really seem upset by this though. Not sure why. Instead he is upstairs watching nonstop Doctor Who, both the... Sign in to see full entry.

HE IS REALLY GETTING INTO DOCTOR WHO

My seven year old (7 years and one day) is a really big fan of the New Dr. Who. It is one show we all watch as a family and have been really enjoying. Yesterday for his birthday he got one present from us (He got eh rest of his birthday presents a few weeks ago at his party) and that was a Dr. Who... Sign in to see full entry.

A BLIZZARDY BIRTHDAY

Today is my son's 7th birthday. He's happy about it. We were gonna go out with my parents for dinner before the Cub Scout meeting tonight, but that is all up in the air right now. There is about two feet of snow out there and really nasty road conditions. There is a good chance we are going nowhere... Sign in to see full entry.

AT LEAST HE PUTS ME BEFORE JESUS

For Thanksgiving my son did a little book of what he was thankful for. It reads like this 1. My Brother 2. Dad 3. Jesus 4. Mom 5. Frogs 6. Snail I thought it was funny. And just it makes a little more sense, the only pets in our house right now are a snail and two frogs. I was a little puzzled as to... Sign in to see full entry.

A CHRISTMAS EXPERIMENT

I wanted gift under the tree, so we have gone a put a few under the tree. We've told our 3 year old, who has a really bad habit of getting into everything, that is he wants to see more presents under the tree he ahs to be good and not get into them. As always he says he understands and has given us... Sign in to see full entry.

I knew we had a few this last month, but nothing big. the bill was for $10, which is about five times the amount I was expecting. So I looked at what calls had been made. Someone called...

THE FUN OF FUNDRAISERS

Since I have not been part of any youth groups in over a decade now, I kind of forgot just how much fun doing fundraisers can be. People doing all they can to ignore you as you try to get them to go and help you organization out. To show my support for my son's Cub Scout pack, I just spent two hours...

HIS FIRST FLAG CEREMONY

We had our monthly Cub Scout pack meeting tonight. It was the Tiger Cub's turn at doing the opening flag ceremony. It was very interesting to get six 1st graders to follow commands, but they did it to the best of their abilities. There were no problems with the flags touching the ground, but the...

MY SON AND GOD

My oldest son and I were grocery shopping. He went and got a free cookie, since the store does that. He mentioned that he wished the cookie was chocolate chip, but all they had was sugar cookies. At one point he put the cookie down and started praying. I knew what he was doing, but figured I better... Sign in to see full entry.
