Has it really been over a year? Wow. I apologize for the overly long absence let's face it, you know you missed me.I had to take a break because I felt I was irresponsibly spending my time reading blogs and letting some of my housework fall to the wayside let's be honest, it's yet to truly pick up, so it obviously wasn't the fault of blogging. Not to mention the headaches that I was getting from

It's Friday so take a moment and give some love to Dad Blogs on another Fatherhood Friday.I am so ready for August to be over. It's been a whirl wind month. After vacation one would expect things to slow down but it seems that they are only ramping up.Being very family oriented is amazing but sometimes it can prove to be exhausting. We spent the past weekend at 2 family reunions and celebrating 3

Wow, I think it's been over 2 weeks since I've written anything. What can I say, life got in the way.Last time I wrote it was about Squirt getting mutilated. I was gonna write about abandoning them 2 weeks ago...but I was having too much fun :D. It was my annual guys weekend out and my best friend, myself, and a mutual friend were in Chicago getting our geek on.-----------------------------------

Seriously, I've been trying to think all day about what to write. I've had a great week. I was depressed last week so this week has been awesome. But there was one down point, and it came about 10 hours later than it should have.Squirt woke up crying about 3 times Monday night. This is rare because he sleeps like a champ.He fell out of bed around 9:00 that night and I went up ans calmed him and

He'll holler to go potty and stays in the living room, so we go to get him and he shouts "NO POTTY POTTY!" we walk away and he cries "POTTY" and we play this game until I pick him up strip him down and sit his @$$ on the potty(hoping that I

Well, at least Busy-Dad-E does :)While I was away at my parents house I found out that he awarded me with a Keepsake Blog Award. His youngest(at the moment) and Squirt are about the same age so it's funny how many of our adventures in life at the moment are uncannily similar.To quote him on the rules of the award:"The rules of this award state that I have to tell a sweet or funny keepsake that

I know, it's Wednesday, I've not lost my mind(though I'm exhausted so it may feel that way). I was gonna hold off and schedule this post for later in the week but i figured I'd save those of you that do read me a read on Friday(I know I appreciate it when I've already read an FF post from time to time) I, however, will be at my parents house on Thursday and Friday, and their dial-up *gasp* is

As I sit here wondering what I'm going to write about this week, my muse screams through the monitor, "POTTY POTTY MORE. POTTY POTTY MOOOOOORE!!! WAAAHHHH"Potty training has gone amazingly well. I really can't complain about much. We only put Squirt into diapers during nap time and overnight. He wakes up wet but not soaked through like he used to so even that is getting better. He wears underwear

No, I'm not giving a weather report.My boys...my poor poor boys.We'll start with the awesome part of today's program.For the past few weeks Squirt has been saying that everything is awesome. Number 1 would be playing with his toys and Squirt would say "awesome". We'd be eating some grapes and Squirt would say "awesome". It didn't seem to matter what we had it was awesome.Stupid us.

Just a quick note. NYCity Mama is doing a series on Dad bloggers for Father's Day and I'm one of the bloggers she's featuring in today's entry. There's actually quite a few awesome guys featured that I read on a regular basis so head on over to her site and then be kind and check out some of the awesome blogs featured. Have a great weekend and Happy Father's Day!

It's another Fatherhood Friday at dad-blogs.com. After you;re done here head on over and see what's upI'd forgotten about the hell that is potty training. it's been 5 years since I've been down this road, it's amazing how your mind blocks these things out.Actually, everything is going fairly smoothly. I use the naked baby approach to pottying, we used it on Number 1 as well, but for some reason

I make more noise trying to get my dog to be quiet than he's making in the first place. You just can't whisper "Shut Up!" effectively.Thanks to www.fbofw.com for allowing the use of their strip.

It's another Fatherhood Friday. Check out all of the great posts over at Dad Blogs.I keep saying it but it seems as if daily Squirt is improving his communication skills. He's learning humor as well(though most of it is him innocently mimicking us)For starters my parent's dog LOVES to bark and whine. They came to visit last weekend and are usually here for an overnighter so they brought Devin

It's Friday again! Check out Dad-Blogs and see what everybody else has to say.The missus and I have been noticing this week just how much Squirt's language has become so much clearer. He's especially fond of his hellos and good-byes.Hello bird, bye bye bird. Hello dog dog, bye bye dog dog. Hello total stranger in the store, bye bye total stranger in the store. But among all of these the most

Number 1 has started a new section in school on learning to tell time. I think this is awesome because when he asks when we are going to leave or when something is on tv I tell him and he looks at the clock and is like, ok thanks. No longer does he ask, when is that? or how long is that going to take? He just looks at the clock smiles and says ok. AWESOME!!! However...Bedtime...He knows he goes

It took a splinter for me to figure it out.What is it about injuries that makes them not hurt until you look at them?I was vacuuming this afternooon and bent down in Squirt's(previously referred to as Number 2) doorway to move the power cord.

Is it Friday already?What a week!My baby's not a baby anymore. Yesterday(4/2) was his 2nd birthday. It was an awesome day. We had amazing weather so that just topped the cake. He LOVES going outside and just running around and playing on the swingset.The missus and I spent the better part of the week trying to think of what could possibly be his favorite meal for dinner.

We're finding out more and more each day just how much like me he is.We've been out at my sister and brother in laws in California for the past week and yesterday was our planned trip to Lake Tahoe.

It's Fatherhood Friday all over again.I'm a totally anal person, I know it and admit it. The only way that I will get anything done is if I know exactly what I'm doing and when I'm doing it. If I have to think about what I'm going to do I won't get anything done.I have a cleaning schedule that hasn't changed in the past 2 years since I've been a stay at home dad.

Literally.We've experienced a really nice warm up, temperature wise, this week. I decided to take advantage of it and get the boys outside for awhile. On our way to the swingset I noticed something that a winters worth of snow had been hiding from us...a literal moat of dog crap around the swingset. Generally the dog stays out of the landscaped areas of our yard but apparently this year he
