Father's day haul!

Yes it is again, that time when I have no time!

But I did have a great Father's Day:
The Haul:

Two t-shirts, and a new cap "Worlds Greatest Dad" ( Sorry guy, but I have the cap now so it is official), a really big frosty from Wendy's, and finally, two DVD's, "miracle" and "Signs".

We also played a heated game of Clue, (it was Mr. Plum, in the library, with a knife)

The evening was topped off with a Dad's night out. Myself and two neighbors went to see the new Batman movie. It was a very cool flick.

Can't get much better than that.

Hope everyone else had a good Father's day.

After all it is the only Holiday when we don't have to remember to get something for someone else.

Keeping Cool

I hate to admit it but summer is here!

Last Saturday it was in the 90’s here in Texas. The asphalt was bubbling, and farm animals were bursting in to flames.

Of course my kids had been stuck inside all week, so Saturday afternoon, they really wanted to play outside. This lasted about 5 minutes. Long enough for them to feel the mid day heat, and come right back in. Now they could complain about two things; how hot it was, AND that they wanted to go outside.

I had the brilliance to go to Target and buy 3 super soakers.

I learned 3 important things that day

1. Never be the "nice" dad and offer to take the small water pistol. You will run out of water more frequently, and the little rats will drench you while you refill.

2. Little girls are very devious. Don’t fall for the old "Daddy you got water in my eye" routine. They’ll nail you when your guard is down every time.

3. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, turn the garden hose on them full blast, (at least when mom is close enough to her their screams.) There's a very strong chance she will not come to terms with your justification in using such a Weapon of Mass Drenching. (WMD)

The up side is they got out of the house and played, and I did not suffer heat stroke.

Not a bad day after all.
