20120122 + All up and out to church. We were only going to go to church but I talked L into going to the Sunday School class I normally go to: she did and it was a good time. We got some KFC on the way home, helped a man and his son who's car died in front of our house get started. We ate, then played Skylanders on the Wii, and then D and I headed to his school to watch the NFL game and learn about 7th grade football for next year.  We stayed for the entire game and the boys had halftime football energy burn in the gym.  After the game D&I ran to a guy's house from church to pick up a pair of skis he no longer wants that are my size :-)  Home for dinner and then we watched some of the NFC Chapionship game in the basement.



Lilly enjoys the snow.

I have no idea why L is so excited!

Football.

20120121 - Shoveling a bit

20120121 - Up and at it. I sent the boys out to shovel the drive, but it had ice rained last night and was not so easy... So they ended up in the backyard with sleds and ramps, throwing ice balls at each other and screaming and crying...
I installed a 'Animal House' PA/Music/Sound effects player in the car; which took several HOURS longer than I anticipated... I ran to pick D up from baseball practice and test the new PA. I remember as a kid my Grandpa Heydinger had a CB in his car with a PA on it and it was a lot of fun, so I had to have one and got it for Christmas. It worked as D came out to a car going 'Moo Moo Moo' and then I yelled to him, 'Hey Howdy I'm over here!' as I saw him walk out of the school. He thought it was pretty cool. L was at a jewelry party and I had left J&G at home alone, so D an I grabbed some food and headed home before I got caught leaving the little boys home alone. But J and his new iTouch texted L and I was caught! Home and we settled in and watched Terminator 1 and 2 while we all played on out iDevices. L home, movies over, all boys to bed.

20120120 + White Carpet

20120120 + Up WAY TO EARLY to drive into Boston and through 4 inches of snow :-O got on my flight to DC and got some sleep. DC looked really neat covered in snow coming in for a landing, but not near as awesome as the 'Shoe'!

Got home settled in and worked the rest of the day. Everyone home from school and we headed out to get a new toilet seat, the fancy slow close kind, and dinner. After dinner the fam dropped me off at home while the went on to the Cole's to visit, GmaB was there; I was too tired Nd been away from home too long already this week. I got the toilet seat on and relaxed. Everyone home, we played some games and then all boys to bed.

20120119 - Not as Much

20120119 - Up and into the office. Larry and I presented to the sales team and then got ourselves organized the rest of the day. Then we headed out to dinner with the Sales team.

20120116 + No Parking

20120116 + Boys were off school today and I had planed the day off too. This was perfect as everyone was sore Nd still tired from yesterday's skiing adventure. I played Wii with J all morning and when D's friends came over to bake cake J&I headed out. I got a haircut and we picked up a toilet at the Home Depot. Back home, cake was done. I got the old toilet out and placed at an an appropriate location for disposal... I had a buddy over to help me put the new toilet in (it is all one piece and HEAVY). After the install the boys and I headed to the basement for some more Wii until dinner. The DJ&I went to Cub Scouts where the boys worked on and all earned their U.S. Silver Heritage badge. Home, dropped the boys off, got Doc and back out toBible Bangers. Home a bit earlier than usual to get Ready for early flight in the am.
