Linda declined Breakfast-in-Bed, which is a good thing because the one time we did that the kids got all the breakfast (and juice ended up on the stairs). So, I got up with the kids despite insomnia last night and we dutifully waited until 8:30am. 8:30am is what Linda and I call “sleepin’ in late” because our lovely Henry - apple of our eyes - likes to get up between 5am and 6:30am. (Really, he’s lucky to still be alive!) Anyway, here’s our Mom’s Day Adventure:

GamerDad Family: Origin Story

Happy Birthday Maggie! (Late, I know, the actual day was 4/20) My daughter and first born is now 8-years old, super sweet, and learning - every day - better tactics on how she can butter up dad. I gave her an MP3 player (she must keep it in her room for now) and an iDog speaker thingie to play it. She got the obligatory Hannah Montana games, Super Smash Bros. (we’ve already had a few battle royales hereabouts), clothes and some stuff from The Littlest Petshop. See? 8 is where the little girl meets the tween and they eye each other nervously. To celebrate, lets go back in time to the day it all began.
