Catch Up Time

Sorry, It's been a while since I put anything here. Let's see.....The 15th of August was Eric's B-day. Carrie's parents were here for an extended weekend. We had a lot of fun. Saturday night we went to the Cornelius Pass Roadhouse for dinner before I had to go to work. It is somewhat of a tradition when they come to town. Sunday we threw a Pirate Party for E's B-day. We had over 20 kids or so running around. I made burgers and hotdogs. It turned out really well!

Sunday they all went to the Zoo for the afternoon.

Monday afternoon, I took Eric and Scott (Carrie's Dad) to see Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Eric realy liked it, I really like Star Wars, but I think I dozed off about 3 times. I was incredibly tired from Saturday. I only had 4 hrs sleep since I work nights. Then later that night Carrie's folks took the kids to Chuck E. Cheese and Carrie and I went out to dinner at PF Chang's.

The rest of the week was catch up on rest and sleep and trying to get back into the grind.

Yesterday I hung out with the boys at home. Today we did the same, but we went outside for a bit and picked some apples and plums. After naps, we went to the park. A funny thing happened there; I was taking pictures with our digital camera as the kids went down the slides. Each time Eric would come down the slide, I would reach out and give him a shock because the slides were made of plastic (or polyeurothane if you want to be specific). After I took several pictures, my camera stopped working. I think it had to do with the static electricity. I was hoping I wasn't going to have to buy a new camera, and when I got home, it was working again (thank god) I'll put some pictures on later tonight, but as for right now, the kids are in bed, Carrie is at bowling, and I am going to chill and watch the Comedy Roast of William SHatner on Netflix.
