Day 30 - NCAA Football and Yard Work

Today started with searching for food for breakfast but lucky for me we had Nutrigrain bars that David just loves so he was set and I was still hungry but could make it too lunch. The first order of business for today was to hit up Kroger for some groceries. Once the food was put away is was on to Lowes for a new rake and some grass seed. David helped push the cart and load the car from lows then he grabbed his plastic rake at home and helped me dethatch the yard. I did not do the best job that is a lot of work and I had to keep an eye on David. I did get the seed down and just in time for lunch at to watch football. No overly exciting noon games but there were a few at 3pm. The ACC did not help themselves by losing every big game they played today but that is ok with me. What an upset of Virginia Tech by JMU! The night game was the one I have been waiting all week for Penn State Vs. Alabama. Not the outcome I wanted to see in that game but We Are...still...Penn State!

Day 22 - Father/Son Day and Long Drive

Friday and daycare is closed so David and I are spending the day together. First stop after a waffle for breakfast is Lowes. Would a father son day be complete without a trip to the hardware store? The next stop is Radio shack to get an electric connector to fix the AC that has been out all week. After a capacitor and wire is replace we have cold air pumping though the house again. After all our work and running around with play with the dog outside a little then have a nice lunch. Time for a nap and a little quiet time for me. I put him down and then quickly pick out cloths for the weekend since we are headed out of town and then lie down for a nap of my own. I was not down long when my wife showed up at home early so we could get on the road.


Once David wakes up we load the car and head out to visit the in-laws. Traffic is heavy but no to bad for Labor Day weekend. After about 2.5 hours we stop for dinner and let David walk around the pet shop to see fish, birds and cats before heading back out on the road hoping he falls asleep for the rest of the trip but guess what. we pull into his grandparents house and he is still awake. He falls right asleep when there and my wife and I have a beer before passing out ourselves after a long day.

day 21 - Long Weekend and Football

Let the weekend begin. I have a long four day weekend and it is halftime of football right now. What a good night. We went to dinner at BW3. David loves the chicken and mini corndogs there. He is not a big eater at dinner and prefers breakfast but he did not want to leave the table tonight. He wanted to walk out of the restaurant on his own and through the parking lot without holding someone's hand and that is not allowed so I had to carry him and he did not want to go in his seat. When a little kid arches his back it is hard to get him in a seat. No work today and all day with David tomorrow I wonder what we will do. Maybe a trip to Lowes.




Here's to some good college games and no one getting injured in the last preseason football game for the NFL. That might kill some fantasy teams out there.
