It was a better idea in my head…

The idea was simple… get a snack for the boys, keep the boys happy on the drive, and then drive to the Cities to get some errands done.  Well somewhere in that plan this happens.

Pics from the wedding…

Wedding Cake

I probably took over a hundred pictures at Nancy and Bill’s wedding reception on Saturday.  Check out the ones that survived the cutting floor at Flickr – Wedding Photo Set.

We had a little accident…

Posted by: Jason.Verly | Comments (0)

Sam got a chance to go see his new school tonight and do it on his bike.  That’s where things went south.  You see his school is a two story building and there is a bit of a hill to go from the front entrance (upstairs) to the lower entrance (downstairs) where his class will be.  Now to get to the lower entrance, he needed to take a sharp turn and then down a hill.  That turn was a little trickier than he thought.  The result…

Total injury count: fat upper lip, fat lower lip, swollen nose, and a scrape to the forehead.  Not bad for a bike injury.

Tonight, or should I say tomorrow morning, is going to be a big day for Sam and I.  Sam asked at dinner tonight if he could get up and see the Perseid meteror shower tomorrow morning with me.  I said sure, but with the caveat that I would check the weather to make sure there were no clouds.  If I saw no clouds then I would wake him up too.

We then proceeded to spend 20-30 minutes planning all the things we would need to bring with.  The list, in his order of importance, is:

  • Goldfish crackers
  • A juice box
  • His lawn chair
  • Bug spray
  • My camera
  • Then me

Obviously he believes he’ll be able to go see them, with or with out me, all the while enjoying a really nice snack.  Let’s hope the weather cooperates and that I’ll have some nice shots to share tomorrow.

There’s a small amount of satisfaction when you know a company makes a KB doc just because of the issue you raised thru support. #Maximo #in

Not my fault…

This is how Evan falls asleep. 

Comfy

Now on any given night, you could probably find me in the same position about an hour after I fall asleep.  Holly blames me for my goofy sleeping habit genes and passing them on to Evan.  She’s probably right.  She also says I should apologize right now to Evan’s future bride for all the grief I’m going to cause in their lives.  Now that may be pushing it.

King of the world…

Posted by: Jason.Verly | Comments (0)

There is a street corner that I bike past during most of my rides.  The corner has a fire hydrant and a bunch of wildflowers planted around the hydrant.  Each time I ride past this corner, I say to myself that I have to get there before the flowers start to fade.  Well I finally made it today and this was the prize winner of the bunch I took.

The bug (I don’t know kind, yet), literally came crawling over the backside of the flower and stopped to look up.  I have more pics from the street corner here [Link].

We feed him, honest…

I took Sam and Evan to the park earlier this week.  This is what happens when a skinny boy and his slightly loose shorts go head to head with gravity.

As ususal… gravity take the win.

Sam really didn’t want to take a bath tonight.  Not sure why, but he made it clear that bath time wasn’t on his agenda for the evening.  So after getting back from the grocery store he disappeared into his room for a little while.  Holly started to collect things for bath time and called for Sam to let him know he was going to have a bath pretty soon.  He comes out of his room and said it was too late for him to take a bath.  Holly asked why and looks up to see Sam already in his PJ’s.  Sam tried to reason with Holly that since he was already dressed for bed, he couldn’t take a bath, because then he’d have to get out of his PJ’s.  Any why would anyone need to get out of there PJ’s before bedtime.  Right?

The logic in his mind I’m sure was absolutely flawless until tested against the will of his mother.  Seems I remember having similar experiences growing up too.
