Jedi Younglings!

So the last few nights on Spike TV they've been showing Star Wars 1-3 and I've let the kids watch about an hour of each before bed. Aidan said he wishes he had a real light saber and four arms so he could fight real good. Seery kept asking about Princess Leia. I am glad Santa brought the both of them light sabers this last Christmas because they still love to turn out the lights and fight with them. No one has been hurt yet thankfully. I'll have to check both of their midichlorian counts to see if they'd qualify for training. I hear it has to be 7,000. And, yes, I can already hear Elise calling me a dork for putting this on here, but you have to have hobbies, right?

I'm Going To Miss Summertime. . .

Sometimes I'll tell Elise that I want to live in the Philippines. It's not because I don't like the people here or that I want to live far away from family. It is because it would be hot and humid all year long and we would live close to what I think are the most beautiful beaches in the world.

I love kids. I love them because I can stick two baby pools in our front yard (our backyard is still dirt and weeds) and they're as happy as can be. If only I could regain that innocent joy for even one day then I'd be happy.

Aidan's now a real boy!

Elise took Aidan to Sports Clips yesterday because she had a coupon for a free haircut.

When I met them at Seery's preschool he literally jumped out of the van and starting yelling at me about what happened. Now he wasn't yelling out of anger but out of sheer excitement. He told all about how he got to watch kids play baseball on TV and how he got his hair shampooed and washed "in a sink". He also loved getting massaged.

I swear Elise was misty eyed when she was telling me about it. She can't believe that her little boy is now a man just like his Dad. The best part was that Aidan wants to go with me next time for boy time. I can't wait!

Dad: What did you like the most about your haircut?

Aidan: I liked getting the massage.

Dad: How come you like that the most?

Aidan: They did it on my back with a machine. It tickled a little bit.

Hello Silly World of Blogging!

I am going to be a blogger! We'll see how long it lasts and if my kids will let my blog without yelling for me to turn off the computer and get them a snack or play with them. But wait a minute-isn't blogging an excuse to ignore your kids!!

Well, I only made it this far and I hear Liam crying so I'm off. . .
