20160105 - Blue Jackets

20160105 - Up way too early and did exercises with L. The boys started school up today, all except G who had a Dr appointment. I dropped D off at school on the way into work. Busy cold day of meetings. L reported G still has a 101 fever and the Dr. said it is a virus, that was helpful... Home and ate quick then DJ and J's buddy Donovan headed downtown to the Blue Jackets game. We were on there a short while when we ran into Bill and Brady. There were open seats around us so we all sat together. None of us know anything about hockey, but it was just fun being there, seeing ourselves on the big screen and watching the fights. The Blue Jackets lost and we headed home. Home, and all to bed.

Home and I got some stuff done at the desk and then D drove me to K-Roger to pick up some groceries. Home and D got the grill out and cooked up some steaks, G cut up strawberries, J made garlic toast and we had a fantastic feast. After lunch the boys played with LEGOs a bit and then LJ&G went back to Delaware to get L's iPad she left there yesterday... D&I put some hooks in the basement ceiling for tomorrow's exercise program. D then drove me to his friends house so I could drop him off and could go to church with him. I continued on to a baseball meeting for G's baseball. John over after the meeting to review the budget and then I sent out a mail to the team on the upcoming schedule. We all had to make our own dinners tonight and after that GJ&I played a bit, some shuffle board marble game and I twisted their arms and steam-rollered them.

I ran to pick up D, we got some food and then home to meet Jason from Scouts to work on the site.  I explained my OCD induced site organization, he got it, agreed it made sense so we started populating the pages with notes on the content we wanted to put in them.  We got to a stopping point and L was headed home and D drove us to Red Robin to stand in line for 45 min, NOT!  We went across the sidewalk to Logan's and had a great meal.  Home and watched some exciting football and the movie Kingpin to finish off the night.

We had to take day one photos, which L has FORBID me from posting... We did the workout and survived. Part of the plan is to drink 1/2 your weight in oz of water (I am looking into a catheter to reduce the number of trips to the water closet...). Brady took G with him, D took me to othe gas station and thn home to watch OSU in the Fiesta Bowl. We played Notre Dame and I was texting with my boss who is a die hard ND fan, to bad for him as the Buckeyes took care of business and won proper. After the game we hung out watching football the rest of the night and I worked on the Scout site some more, www.Troop98Gahanna,info, until late.  D wet to a movie and then called to see if he could stay at a friends.  We said yes and he came to get some of the games they played last night to take to his friends :-)

20151225 - The little boys woke us up at 6:52 and we told them to go back to bed :-)   That didn't work  so up and out to the living room to open some presents.  The boys opened presents and for the first time D was more interested int he reactions his gifts got than what he received.  He did a really good job and got me a beer sweatshirt that has an extra pocket to hold a beer :-)  The boys took turns and opened things nicely.  Everyone was very happy with the things they got, especially J&G when they opened iPhone 6s' at the same time.  It wasn't until several seconds later did they realize D had used empty iPhone boxes to give them little Lego guys.  Our presents open and boys cleaned up, down on the Xbox trying out their new games.  Soon the Gma&paB&W showed up and the Coles for a proper houseful.  We had a fantastic lunch and even more presents.  The kids played inside, outside, upstairs, downstairs, all over the place.  In the evening when thigns settled down, somehow G convinced Gma^paW to take him home with them... So he left.  LDJ&I went down to the basement to play some Star Wars Battlefront and then watch 'ex machina', super weird movie...  A very nice Christmas
