Five for Friday: Five cute things that my daughters do.

1. Maggie used to say this and it needs to be recorded. When she wanted to be picked up she would say "up you." Too damn cute. I miss it.

2. Lucy smiles every time she sees me. I love her smile.

3. Maggie Told me just this morning that her heart belongs to daddy. Well she's right. Made my day.

4. Lucy will stick her finger up to her mouth like she is telling you to shush.

5. Hearing Maggie (and Lucy soon) telling me she loves me every day.

It's been a while

Yes it has been a long time. School is making me very busy. I am actually at the hospital now. I have some free time so I shall blog.

I have discovered that along with this very hectic school that it is very hard to be a stay at home parent. I'm still home with the girls 3-4 days a week when the wife is working. I know not doing the best job, but I am doing my best. With school I spend a lot of time out of house and I don't really like leaving the house when I'm home.

I feel bad because we have a great park down the street and I need to take girls there more. Especially now that Lucy is being more active. She wants to walk by herself so bad!

Yesterday I went down stairs to switch laundry and when I came up Lucy had scooted (she still doesn't crawl) all the way to an end table and lifted herself up. She was smiling at me after I freaked out when I didn't see her in middle of the room where I left her.

I am doing better with them every day.
I have drastically cut Maggie's tv time down because she was watching it too much. She loves watching tv but I limit it to when I trying to get chores done, or before I have my coffee. I can see why some parents just plop their kids in front of it all day, but kids need to be playing.

I never really knew potty training would be so hard. Maggie will change day to day whether she wants to use the potty or not. I try to put her in undies, but she is 2 and wants what she wants. She is getting better on telling me when she has a dirty diaper though .

School is winding down so you should see some more posts coming soon.

Five for Friday: Five Things You May Not Know About Me.

Yup, I'm back for more. Two weeks in a row.

Maggie has been going around all week singing We Built This City. Too Funny.



1. I really miss playing golf, skiing (snow), scuba diving and going to the movies.

2. I met my wife in a bar.

3. I was once printed in the Chicago Sun-Times.

4. I love to cook. I prefer making stuff from scratch.

5. I'm stuck at home tonight while the wife is out with all of her cousins.

Five for Friday: Five Things That Have Been Happening.

Hello all. Yes it has been quite a long time since I have posted something. Since the girls are napping I have a little bit of a chance to do a little writing. I am now half way through Paramedic school and have some free time.

Here are some things that have been going on:

1. We are almost done with the kitchen. I have been so busy I haven't had  time to finish painting it. At least the kitchen is functional. All of the appliances are in there and they are awesome.

2. Lucy's first birthday is at the end of the month and it is very hard to believe that she is almost a year old.

3. For about two Weeks I was either out of the house or doing paper work for school. That is how busy I have been.

4. Maggie is doing great. Yesterday she asked the wife if I was her first marriage.

5. We went for ice cream (frozen custard really) and the girls each got their own cone. Lucy finished her's in about a minute. Then she kept getting mad that we weren't giving her more. She got daddy's love for ice cream.
