this week's highlights from the gridkids...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
they were both experimenting with the eff word this past weekend. i let them at it, cuz i figure better for them to get it out of their systems at home... and they clearly understand that it's not to be repeated anywhere else, before you revoke my nomination for father of the year...

so, gridkid1 asks me to wrestle. i agree. she comes barreling toward me, headbutts me in the gut and yells "i'm gonna beat the fuck out of you!!!"

then gridkid2 decides to join in the fun... gridkid1 has ended up lying flat on the floor at this point. gridkid2 jumps right on top her announcing "i'm gonna fuck you up!!!!"...

and then, the best one yet... i'm sitting on the floor sparring with gridkid2 and gridkid1 decides to try a "sneak attack" from behind me... i grab her by the head and flip her over my shoulder. without missing a beat, she congratulates me: "nice fuckin' ninja move dad!!!"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
gridkid2 and i have this little thing we do each night where she'll go "daddy i want a hug" and i'll go "naaaahhhhh, i don't feel like anymore hugs today" and she'll get louder: "i WANT a HUG!!!!". we'll go back and forth a few times like this before i actually hug her. just a little game we play. tuesday night i was saying good night to them and it got to this part... only this time, after i said "nah, i don't want a hug right now" the first thing i heard came from gridkid1 on the other side of the room: "daaaaad, you KNOW that pisses her off"...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

gridkid1 has her first day of school tomorrow. i can't wait. half my day NOT listening to her incessant chatter... woo hoo!!!!

although after everything i've just described above, i'm well prepared to be receiving numerous phone calls...

almost forgot to mention, finally finished getting the goddamn pool ripped out. we now have a giant gaping hole full of sand taking up half the yard and the gridkids absolutely LOVE playing in it. so much so that they spent pretty much the entire day out there and barely bothered with me at all... so all of a sudden, i don't feel any big rush to fill it in...
