Ronald McDonald

Tonight we went to dinner at McDonald's expecting to watch Megamind.  Instead we had a visit from Ronald McDonald.  Gary had a great time and was laughing at all of Ronald's bad jokes and magic tricks.  He even got to help Ronald perform one of the tricks.

Last Monday in March

It is Monday night here and Gary is laying next to Jennifer in our bed while Jennifer watches TV.  Gary is asleep (or close to it).  Jennifer and Gary had a quiet, stay-at-home, Spring Break day while I went to work.  They watched TV, played Wii, played with his Legos, and played on the computer.

We had salami and eggs for dinner (Gary had some leftover bacon).  Whenever I have salami and eggs it reminds me of my Papa who always cooked that for me.

They are supposed to come tomorrow evening and finish the last part of the floors (the transition between the tile and the wood floor was about two feet short.

Friday Night

It is Friday night and the end of a long week.  Gary is on Spring Break so he has Jennifer on the go constantly and we had hardwood floors installed in our family room, which meant a lot of work to clear out the room and a lot of work (some of it still not done) of putting stuff away.

The floor looks nice and tomorrow it will look nicer as they finish installing the transition between the tile and the floor.

This week Gary also went to two birthday partys.  One was at Jungle Quest (were he got to ride a zip line) and the other was at Fun City were he got to drive a go-cart.  He had fun at both.

Getting ready for the new floor

Gary and I went to Falcon Park today to play.  There were no other kids there when we arrived so he did not want to stay.  After the park we went to King Soopers so I could get some 9 volt batteries for two smoke detectors that were beeping this morning.

Almost have the family room cleared.  Just the Clock, little cabinet, TV and stand (with the Wii).

I have set up one of the laptops downstairs since Gary wants to use that computer (as opposed to the three desktops in the basement or his computer upstairs).

I really hope that they finish in one day so I can start to put things back.  After this is done the next two projects are to clean up the living room and to clean up Jenny's loft so that she can paint.

Monday Night

Well the hardwood for the floors arrived today, late.  I left work early so that someone would be home when it was scheduled to arrive as Jennifer had her dance class.  And I waited and waited, then Jennifer and Gary came home.  We then waited and waited until the flooring showed up almost two hours after the window we were given.

I started packing up the DVDs.  I brought a bunch of DVDs that Gary has outgrown downstairs and have two boxes upstairs.  I still have quite a few to pack up, but it should go quick.  Then it is moving the couch, recliner, stereo system, speakers, a small wicker cabinet, my long case clock, TV, cable box, dvd player and TV stand.  I'll do all of that tomorrow, hopefully it will only take a couple of hours.

We went to Jason's Deli for dinner tonight.  It was yummy.

Gary is hopefully asleep by now and Jennifer will not be far behind.  I will also be going to bed soon.

Good night.

Sunday night

Today between playing with Gary, grocery shopping, and getting Gary a Hair cut  we got all of Gary's toys (except for the Wii) out of the family room.  Tomorrow I'll start to do the DVDs.

Saturday

We're having a nice Saturday.  Gary went to a birthday party today at Jungle City and had fun going down the zip lines.  After lunch we played outside for a bit with light sabers.  We then watched Mega Mind.

Now we are watching Spongebob and trying to think what to have for dinner.

The flooring people called and they are delivering the wood for the floors on Monday and want to start installation on Wednesday.  So by next weekend we should have a new floor in the family room and have no more carpet downstairs.

Of course than means that this weekend is work weened in clearing out this room. The only thing that I am really worried about is moving the long case clock.  Moving it is easy, it is setting it back up that I am worried about.

Friday night, Gary starts spring break

Thursday was a nice quiet night here.  We went to Fazoli's for dinner tonight. We had a coupon for a free kid's meal. The breadsticks there are pretty yummy. Gary had the pizza and some of the spaghetti that came with my chicken parm. Jennifer had the chicken carbonara.

After dinner I took Jennifer and Gary home and then was sent out to get Gary some more shoes. He is now in a size 1 and all of his old shoes were size 13. 


Today was a typical day had work and Gary had a nice relaxed day at school.  Everybody is home now and just watching some television (Planet Sheen) and relaxing.  I'll figure out what to do for dinner in a little bit.
Plans for the weekend to get some more stuff out of the family room in preparation for the hardwood floors. Hopefully they will deliver the wood next week and then we can get the installation done.

The Ides of March

The Ides of March is here and the day has gone pretty well (no dead Roman Emperors to be found). Work was busy after a four day weekend. Tomorrow is going to be even busier and longer as I have an event to support that will last past 6:00 PM. I will still need to try and be in by around 6:00 AM. Oh well, that is vacation time that I can save.

Gary is doing well. He is still into Star Wars, Legos, and Lego Star Wars. He has also started creating his own games to play with Jennifer using his Legos. It is hard to believe that in 37 days he will be 8.

Spring break starts next week and in about two weeks they should start installing our hardwood floor in the family room. When that is completed the who down stairs will either be tile or a hardwood.

March 1

February is gone and March has begun. We are all doing well here. Just getting ready for allergies and the ever changeable Colorado weather. Nights below freezing and days in the mid 50s.

Jennifer won four tickets to see the Imagination Movers from the radio station she listens to. We are going to see them on March 11.
