Well I am not "sharing" my account. Yes my wife will read things over my shoulder sometimes, and we have a new child that is taxing our income and so we put a few things up in the Swap Meet group, because we don't know how we are going to feed our child next month, so yeah she is checking that while I am at work, where they have the site blocked. The last thing I want is to get zotted from the one site I spend 90% of my online time at.
So last weekend was really great we just sat at home and didn't go or do anything. Chelle had a great time with Logan and I and decided that it was time to let go of some of the stress that we both have been dealing with. But it has been hard to stay positve this week, the lack of money is really eatting away... Read More
I have to say last night was a blast. Logan dressed up as a little skeleton and we took him to a few houses in Anna's neighborhood. He was the cutest kid on the block, I carried him up to the doors and said trick or treat for him, and I switched out so Chelle and Anna could both do a house as well, but... Read More
I love tking our boys trick or treating. We couldn't really afford good costums but we got creative and had fun with them every year. I'm so glad that we raised the boys in the city of Decatur. Our old neighborhood all the kids trick or treated together and it was totally ok for them to hit up house more than once - just barring that they changed into another costume. Then a couple of houses made little haunted houses themed for differnet age groups.
It was awesome place to live.... you guys are going to be so great with Logan as he grows up!
There was a similar decked-out Halloween house in my neighborhood growing up. The entire inside and outside was decorated. The dad dressed up as a wino and laid on the roof and yelled at the trick or treaters. The mom dressed as a witch and had a bubbling cauldron that she stirred. You had to go inside the house to get your treats, and some kids were too scared, but it was awesome.
I decorate our house pretty well. We have a cemetery and random demons and skeletons that light up. This year I made a Jason dummy and had him sitting in a chair by the walkway holding a plastic bloody machete. A lot of kids were too scared to come to the door so I had to practically stand on the doorstep the whole time. Kids are wusses nowadays ...but I like knowing we help give them a memorable Halloween, since so few houses around here even put out jack o lanterns anymore.
I will post a longer post soon, but for now it was great going out and seeing friends last weekend, I hope Chelle and I can work that out to do at least once a month, and I am thinking of trying to get together with some people maybe once everyother week to play cards or something. Don't know.... maybe.
what a long ass week. I hope this one goes better and seeing as I don't have to work friday night or saturday it should be much better. Everything is moving right along nothing too crazy has been going on. Chelle is trying to find a part time job. That will help out a whole lot. Logan is growing so fast. We went to Ikea... Read More
Yay!!! I'm soooo glad you guys will be at the halloween party! Let me know about what time you guys think that you might be there so I make sure I see you! I can't stay to long since I have to be at work at 6am the next day!
Yesterday Chelle and Anna went off to have a sister's day out. that left me for the first time with Logan, alone for more than like an hour. He was a bit fussy but we had a blast. I love the way he laughs, i had him laughing really good at one point. though I have even more respect for what my wife does everyday.... Read More
Man what a weekend! I took off a few hours early on friday to go to the doc for Boogie's 4 month check up and shots. The doc was quite please with him. he is up to 14.10 lbs and 25.5 inches long, he is going to be tall, it runs in Chelle's family, all my people are runts. yesterday we just hung out and... Read More
oh my god... so sleep deprived haha. trying to sleep when he sleeps but it's hard.. there always seems to be something to do.. or it ends up being hard to turn off the brain... when did your little one start sleeping for longer then 2-3 hours at a time?????
What a crazy ass weekend so far.... and I stil have one more day off work. things have settled down from my fuck up friday evening. Chelle and I talked and things are back on level ground... i hope. Logan has been very fussy the past two days and not wanting to eat all of his bottles at his 10am and 6pm feeding, I don't... Read More
Sometimes babies aren't super hungry. When I'd watch my niece she wouldn't alway eat all I'd give her and still doesn't eat everything now and again. I wouldn't sweat it too much unless he's not eating at all. Being a first time parent can be nerve racking but if you're not sure on anything you always have the interwebz to check about questions.
I am such a dumb ass. Every time something is going good or getting better leave it up to me to fuck it up again. I just don't know when to stop and leave well enough alone or when to say when. If you give me an inch I will take a whole foot and not even realize it until I have done it, and... Read More
I'm sorry that you're having a hard time right now.
I'm sure everything will work out in time though, then again what do I know? I don't know you, your wife, or the life you live. I wish I could help in some way though, because I know the feeling and it really really does completely suck. I hate seeing people upset or hurting.
So yeah I am getting into the whole day thing, sure it has changed life forever and we can't come and go as we please doing all the things we used to but sometimes it is just a blast to sit back and watch Logan do things, he is getting very vocal now and making sounds and we started feeding him applesauce last week and...

My niece loves applesauce. She loves fruit in general though. Have you guys thought about making your own baby food? My sister did and she saved tons of money vs buying store bought stuff. If you want the info about it let me know and I can send it to you.
Hey babes!!!
Just wanted to wish you Happy Birthday even though you will not be able to attend your Anniversary party. But at least you know that you have your birthday gift awesome from last year - Logan! Hehehe....that was one crazy birthday night!
I'll miss you guys but I know I'll see ya soon! Tell Chelle Hello!
