Did you know that if you put the waffle iron on a low cook setting that you won't smell anything burning if you forget to take out the last waffle of the batch? It's like an Awesome waffle version of Ebony and Ivory. Ebony, Ivory, livin in perfect haaaarmony...
I won this guy when I was 16 at a Safeway in Lamar. For most of his life with me he has made his home in my bedroom. However, there came a point in my daughter's life where she was so scared of the sight of him that we had to find a few foster homes to host him. I started to miss him so I bought the animated Clone Wars movie and had my kids watch it with me. After seeing Yoda as the good guy they were very accepting of him being back home with us.
So I have been sick and forgot to do my blog yesterday. The pic above was a fun moment. I was sitting at the dinning room table and I hear "YES!". I look over and see my little girl beaming with pride and I ask her what happened. She points at this and gives me a look that says, "Yeah, that's right. I did that." It wasn't so much the actual accomplishment that I think is awesome, it was her pride in her accomplishment.
And just moments ago, while I was writing the description above my son starts yelling, "Daddy! A circle! Daddy! A circle!" He was also rather proud of his accomplishment. Daddy is proud of both of them. I have two very awesome toddlers.
Did you know when you stay at a hotel you pay for all this stuff whether you use it or not? I saw it on F.R.I.E.N.D.S and apparently it isn't just a silly bit for Ross. So today I went to the front desk and came back with all this. Cups (both water and coffee) with lids, toilet paper, a box of tissues, coffee (regular and decaff), shaving cream, make-up remover, deodorant (both his and hers) a sewing kit, vanity kit, razor, toothpaste, comb, 2 AAA batteries, tooth brush, shampoo, conditioner, hand and face cleaner, lotion, and mouthwash. I wanted to take the light bulbs, but that is where my wife drew the line. It was kinda awesomely exhilarating.
I'm gonna be an uncle again. Today I got to see my awesome NEPHEW for the first time. This is my sister and brother-in-law and they are looking at a little guy that wouldn't show us his face, but had no problem showing us that he was a "he". I would show you that picture but I don't know how comfortable I feel posting that kind of a picture. You will get to see a picture of him in September.
The awesome young lady pictured here is graduating this year. She has been mentored by my wife for a while now and she asked us to be a part of her capping ceremony. A capping ceremony (for those of you who don't know) is where all the grads have someone special in their life come and place the cap they are graduating in on their heads. The graduate writes a paragraph or two telling everyone why this person is important and it is read aloud for everyone to hear. She said some very awesome things about us.
