We went to Legoland this weekend for the kids’ first time and had a blast.  We’ve been promising Legoland for awhile now, so this was the kids big pay off.  We live just down the road from Legoland in California, so there really isn’t any excuse for us not to go.  Well, besides it being expensive and all our other normal day to day things we do. We promised Super Michael that we would go for his birthday back in August and he’s been saving his ... Read Full Story

So... It appears that this blog thing still works, and yes, I can actually do a blog post longer then 140 characters long. :) So... Anyway, I haven't been much in the mood to blog for awhile now, even though I was starting to miss it a lot.  I've checked in here and there with people through things like Twitter, but it just ain't the same. First off, it turns out that if a woman has a tubal ligation, the probability of a pregnancy being "normal" are very slim.  We... Read Full Story

Comic Con 2009 has come and gone and only the memories remain. Daddy Geek Boy has gotten me into the mood of posting my Comic Con Recap post.  It’s been a few  weeks, but we had a blast.  The crowds were just INSANE this year, and getting yourself from one side of the hall to other is an art form.  We went on Sunday, which is traditionally “kid’s day” and quieter then the other days, but you couldn’t really tell by the massive amount of humanity.  This is my second ...

So.... The family was sitting at the dining room table having dinner the other night and Super Mega Mommy looks at me and says that her tummy is upset and it's really bothering her.  "That's too bad...do you think you ate something to upset it?", said I.  She says to me that she didn't think so, but she just feels REALLY queasy.  We get back to eating and after about five or ten minutes more minutes, Super Mega Mommy pipes up and announces that she's missed her...

I'm still trying to play catch up here and my good buddy Otter Thomas over at Life of a New Dad awarded me the Keepsake Blog Award a few weeks back.  Otter is fairly new at the whole dad experience, comparatively speaking, but he is a really great dad and a really great blog read.  I always feel so much nerdier after reading his blog, especially when he talks about all the manly stuff he does.  I usually go back to painting my toes and watching the soaps I recor...

Have you ever had one of those days where you were so busy at work that you didn't have time to pee or eat, let alone finish everything that was on your very full work plate?  Today was one of THOSE days, and I just felt like I didn't even have time to look up from the computer. Unfortunately (or fortunately?), today was a work from home day, so I worked from my office (the couch) while the kids destroyed the house around me.  Princess K is going through a phase where ...

First of, congratulations to Daddy Fireman on winning the Petzl headlight.  I was going to do a video of the kids pulling a name from a hat, but I've been pretty lazy recently, so the video didn't go, but the random drawing did.  Daddy Fireman was sent his light and he was pretty happy with it, even if he is a lurker.  He's a fireman by trade and it sounds like he'll get some great use out of it.  On another note, the original Xbox didn't get fixed.  We ordered the...

Father's Day is fast approaching.  Actually, much faster than I had originally thought.  I thought I still had another week left yet, but whadda ya know, it's THIS Sunday.  And if your dad is like MY dad, dad's are extremely difficult to shop for.  My dad started life as an auto mechanic, then became an aircraft mechanic for the major air carriers for decades, and is currently working his "retirement job" working on those really cool drone craft we hear about so...

About one year ago, for Princess K's two year checkup, I was sitting in the doctor's office asking him about what tact I should take for potty training Princess K.  We had a very tough time potty training Super Michael, and I was not looking forward to going through the same mine field with Princess K.  He suggested that we just let Princess K decided on her own schedule and that she would just eventually decide for herself that she was ready for the big seat. At first, that all... Read Full Story

[youtube:lk8Bt_PIiK4] You have got to hand it to the kid.  He wanted to tell a joke in front of the whole school the last day of school, and he did.  I'm pretty proud of him.  He has no problem getting out there in front of everybody and just putting it out there.  Things like this, I try to support him as much as I can and go over the top on praise.  I want him to be comfortable in front of large groups of people like this.  He didn't blink an eye!&n...
