I'M TRYING TO TAKE A BATH HERE

So last night while I was taking my evening bath to help me relax for the night, my sons came into the bathroom and started putting their hands in the water to see how hot it is. This is not unusual, they do it most of the time any more. Then my six year old decided to take his shoes off and soak... Sign in to see full entry.

HE AIN'T A KINDERGARTENER NO MORE

My six year old just graduated kindergarten. it is interesting that such a big deal is being made over such a small step. I mean do you know anyone who did not graduate from kindergarten? While I am all for celebrating his achievements., I still find it a little silly to go after everyone. It was... Sign in to see full entry.

GETTING READY TO SEE X-MEN 3

Got a pass for tow to the preview of X-Men 3. So I am taking my six year old. He is really looking forwards to it. It is a first come/first serve kind of thing and they always over do it with tickets, so we are going to get some snacks and stuff ready and get out here shortly, and wait a hour or so...

ANSWERING THOSE HARD QUESTIONS

My six year old was asking questions about the new X-Men movie. He had a real hard time with the Prof. X/ Magneto relationship. He doesn't understand how they were friends and are now fighting each other. I tried to explain it to him, but it really is a very complicated relationship and he is far...

THEY JUST KEEP GROWING ON YOU

It really is something to watch your kids grow. My three year old is in a uncomfortable growing spurt right now. He is not feeling good and makes it very clear he is not feeling good. He is potty trained when he wants to be. And he is positive he runs the house and should be allowed to do as he... Sign in to see full entry.

LET'S GO FLY A KITE, OR AT LEAST WE CAN TRY TO

It was just me and the boys today, so I figured it might be fun to go tot eh park and try to get some kites up in the air. It was a mildly windy day, but we just had no luck at all with the kites staying up there. Of course that meant the boys got bored real quick. And as tired as I got trying to...

A WALK WITH THE FAMILY

It was a nice evening so my wife and I took the boys for a walk. We got out a lot last year and now that the weather is getting nice we figure we will try and do this a few times a week. It is just good family time. You get out and walk and enjoy just being together. You get some exercise and you... Sign in to see full entry.

He was throwing up last night and has not eating anything this morning. He is shivering and has a mild fever. Hopefully it is nothing serious and... Sign in to see full entry.

MY ALMOST 3 YEAR OLD IS GOING TO BE SMARTER THAN I AM

It really is something when you have a child that shows himself to be a much faster learner than you are. Our soon to be there year old (One week to go) keep showing himself to be as clever as it gets. He seriously got on my wife’s computer and figured out how to get on-line. He then jumped around a...

TEACHING MY STEP-FATHER HEROSCAPE

Yesterday we took our HeroScape stuff to my parents' house and taught my step-father how to play the game. My son was really enjoying it. He got a kick out of teaching his grandfather how to play and helping him in the game. This was in some ways a trial for us teaching Xeno-x when he is out here... Sign in to see full entry.
