I’ve been to Chuck E. Cheese’s twice in the last couple of weeks. Two different locations even. Let’s face it, if it weren’t for birthday parties, this franchise would have shut down decades ago. Both times I went were for birthday parties. Actually, I don’t know if I’ve ever been to Chuck E. Cheese’s without…
Here is a blurry picture of Xavier during gymnastics. It’s the best one I could get of him as he was constantly on the move. Here he is in the back yard after I picked him up from preschool. He’s making stew for dinner. Yeah, that’s all I have for this week. Sorry.
August, age 10, to Ciárán, age 6: “This is a cool book. I got it back when I was your age.” Apparently “back in the day” isn’t too long ago when you’re still in elementary school.
As I begin typing this out it is 5:20 in the morning. I have been awake for an hour. We “stayed up” until about 10 last night, turned the clocks back an hour, then went to bed. I sure was tired and looking forward to getting some sleep. Normally I wake up a couple of…
Yesterday was Halloween, so of course there will be costume pictures. First, however, I wanted to share this. We don’t get a lot of fallen leaves in our neighborhood, but the block to and from school does for about a week. The kids all love going through them. Here’s Xavier on his way home from…
School pictures came back. For Xavier it was his first school picture. It’s not even a great picture, to be honest, but it really does capture him at this moment in time. As I picked him up from preschool one of his teachers was handing out the packets to parents. He came out and saw…
First, a random shot of Xavier as he is wearing August’s jacket. We were rushing to get out the house to pick up August, Déla and Ciárán from school and couldn’t immediately find his. Then we come to the weekend and Xavier and August went with me to the store. Both Xavier and August wanted…
Plenty has happened in the last week, not the least of which was Xavier staying home for 3 days from preschool due to his being sick. Here are a few of the other highlights from the past week. Friday was the Cross Country Pumpkin Run, an event that is supposed to come at the end…
Sunday was the “Ribbon Run” for cross country, but only for the younger grades (K-3). August (Grade 4) will run next Sunday in the championship race for the upper grades (4-8). Here are Ciárán and Déla suited up and ready to run. I was able to be in a position to…
I know it’s late. I’m going to post this entry that should have been posted on the 4th, and this coming Friday I’ll have another entry. I’ve been sick and not getting much sleep, been busy with … stuff. Nothing important, really. On with the pictures. On Sunday the 29th of September the kids had…
