It sucks to see your kids in pain!  Poor bowling girl waking up screaming because his finger hurts just breaks my heart, all you can do is hold him until the Tylenol kicks in.

Lucy and I got to play some games while Bing napped yesterday, she’s feeling kind of neglected because Bing is getting so much attention… I’ve promised her a special Daddy and Lucy outing as soon as her brother is feeling better.

As I explained on the pod, my birthday was kind of a bust, but I’m hoping for a better 40th!

I feel like such a pig, the rain has kept me from getting out walking and they’re remodeling the gym in my building, it’s been closed for 2 weeks and will be for 2 more.  I need some sun, so I can walk off all the brownies the kids and I ate last weekend!

Stretch should have more news on the job front this week… I would like for at least one of us to be working!

Super Bowl ad already causing trouble.   Lock down causes plate shortage.  That was nice of Rachel.  Quick, pedal. He’s in a little trouble.   Puppy beater convicted.    Happy birthday offspring of that crazy lady.   You’re never too old to steal.  Bad priest. Where not to stay!

Rock On, Jack

The modem and router are hooked up waiting the arrival of my DSL signal… Which is supposed to happen at 8p.  So, blogging should not be a problem!

Bing (AKA Bowling Girl… AKA Polka Dot Bowling Girl) is obsessed with his bowling shoes that I found for him.  Ebay is a parents dream, you can find anything there, like say brand new toddler size 8 rental bowling shoes, with the little “8″ on the back heel, they rule!

Lucy and I made brownies the other night… I’d say about half the ingredients made it into the bowl, the other half are spread all over my kitchen, but it was fun, so what the heck.

The kids carved pumpkins last night, well kind of, I found these mallet things at Target where you nail plastic pegs into the pumpkin… Kind of like a pumpkin Light Bright.   Way easier for the under 6 crowd!

If you haven’t heard already, our Halloween Party has been canceled… So we’re inviting anyone who wants to come down in costume (or not) to the CRN Studios on Friday the 30th for a costume contest and live broadcast from 8-10p.  There is nothing more spooky than Halloween Eve in Sun-Land.

Wow, new Night Stalker news.  Tomas is going to be upset.  Oh Ya, avoid the chest!  Easy come, easy go.  I already thought this was covered!?!?  Don’t you hate it when your wife shows you up.  Sorry, no nakey time!  Good news dreamers!  Your dog is not green!!!

Rock On, Jack

It’s supposed to rain, so you know that’s all we’re going to hear about…. I like that most of the time they’re wrong anyway.  It’s L.A where it’s sunny 90% of the time and they still can’t get the weather predictions right!

Lucy had a sore throat all weekend, so we stayed home and watched movies.  I highly recommend Red Box, they’re all over the place, have the latest releases and charge only $1 a day.  Lucy picked a new one to annoy me, Dive Olly Dive…. It’s about these submarines that help clean up the ocean, good message, just not that entertaining to 38 year olds.  I’ll take Yo Gabba Gabba any day!  We did discover a show called Tiny Planets where the lead characters are Bing and Bong… This was amusing to us all!

Did some baking, made M&M Chocolate Chip Brownies… Bing and Lucy loved them!  And as I type a loaf of sourdough is baking…  I love fresh baked bread!

Still no breaking Bing’s desire to be “Polka Dot Bowling Girl” for Halloween… He tried on his Dragon and Strawberry costumes, but has no desire to wear them trick or treating!  I guess it’s time for Daddy to do some costume designing, I’ll let you know what I come up with.

It’s sad when the kids go home and you look around at all their toys.  I got home last night and started to clean up, I found all the pictures they had drawn (We had art time since we were home)… They are so great, I save them all, at some point I will just have an apartment full of little kid drawings.  Lucy drew a picture of a person as seen from the perspective of an approaching shark that I’m going to fram and put in our shark themed bathroom.

They took it too far!  No one is making this kid eat soap. Oh deer.   I guess he had a change of heart.  They’re not called porn stamps! Do you think this is fair?  Secret Flaming Lips this week.  Loch Ness balls! This is not a good way to start a marriage!

Rock on, Jack
