Handyman

To say that I’m not too handy is an understatement. I took the past 2 days off from work to take on a small project in the kids’ room. The twins are moving up to the bedroom upstairs by Seth, so we decided to give them a fort of sorts by creating a small “secret” passage joining their two closets. I must admit, it was fun taking a hammer and smashing a hole in the wall. It took me all of those 2 days, but I did eventually finish the job. The kicker is that when Brandy saw the completed job, she said; “It looks good”. That in itself isn’t the kicker part, but rather the tone in which she said it. It would have been nice if she didn’t say it in such a surprised tone. :-)

Happy Father’s Day

For me, the perfect Father’s Day is getting to spend the day just hanging out with my kids. Today has started off great. I put up the tent in my backyard last night so the 3 of us could sleep out there last night. I didn’t really expect them to make it all night outside, but they did. We popped popcorn and hung out in the tent telling stories before we all drifted off to sleep. I’m not sure, but I may have been the first to fall asleep.

Happy Father’s Day to all you dads out there. Enjoy your day.

Hide-and-Seek Mishap

If you remember, Parker had a little trouble watching hockey on SportsCenter a while back. Well, he’s at it again. Last night, he and his brothers with up in Seth’s room watching a movie. (Or so we thought) A game of Hide-and-Seek broke out and yada yada yada . . .

Parker after a session of Hide and Seek

Apparently, one of the twins weren’t watching where they were going and Parker’s cheek hit Casey’s head. Casey fell down from the contact, but Parker got the worse of it. This picture was taken after the swelling went down a little bit.

Bill Cosby - Himself

OK, so my wife and I are watching the Bill Cosby stand-up show from 1983, “Himself”. I remember watching this years and years ago, but I don’t remember it being this funny. Any parent should watch this show if given the opportunity. If you’ve got some time on your hands and a high speed Internet connection now, you can find them all on Google Video. If you only watch 1 of them, make sure you check out Part 2. Here are the links:

Typical JazzFest Weekend in New Orleans

You fly from St. Louis to New Orleans to enjoy a fun weekend at JazzFest only to wonder if there is a curb under all that water. . .

JazzFest Rain

A thought crosses your mind that you need shoes that have soles thick enough to keep you out of the water rushing down the street. . .

Big shoes

What? You mean it’s legal to walk down the street and drink alcohol here? Where’s my margarita?. . .

Margarita

Oh. . . Is that what happens when you drink too much on the streets?. . .

Passed out on the street

Let’s just pose in front of that big Viking head. . .

Viking

My husband would love that outfit. I’ll take 2. . .

Parade

These were the thoughts and images from Brandy and Tara’s trip to New Orleans this weekend. I’m looking forward to what they come across tomorrow. Stay tuned.

Crank Caller

I was sitting on the couch, folding laundry, being a good husband :-) when my cell phone starts vibrating, vibrating NOT ringing. I start pulling it out of my belt clip to answer it, immediately thinking that something was broken at work. Before I get a chance to look at the caller id, Parker comes running down the stairs shouting at me to answer my phone. My first thought was, “How did you know my phone was ringing?”.

Flashback 1 month:
I decided that my kids should know our phone number. But which number should I teach them? I decided that the number that had the best chance of getting answered and for us to keep for quite a while was my cell phone. So I spend a few days quizzing them on it until they have it memorized.

Flashback to yesterday:
I look at my phone for caller id and on the display is: “Home”. “What, home is calling me?”; I think to myself. Then I look at Parker’s mischievous face and put 1 and 1 together. I wonder up to the upstairs phone, which I find lying on my desk, waiting for me to answer. I hung up that phone and chased Parker throughout the house to tickle him till he learns his lesson.

We’ll see if he did or not.
