Month: September 2008 (Page 2 of 2)

Mom is at a conference this week, it’s boys’ time!  Daddy was home early but needed to work in his room for a while alone…yeah right….Can I come up with you, Daddy?  Asks Mac.  Well, ok, but I need to get work done, so please find something to do quietly….Looks like Mac needs some further training on playing quietly by himself…Daddy, would you play with me? Daddy, would you make up math problems for me?  Daddy, what does this mean?  Daddy, what does that mean?   Daddy, may I help you on the computer….oh, all right, come here pest (not I didn’t say ‘pest’).  At 1700, it was time to go downstairs with Mitchell and get ready for Mac’s golf lesson.  Mitchell didn’t want to come, but with Mommy in Chicago, he needed to come.  Once there, Heather was let go, and Mac rode in a cart with Daddy, while Mac rode with his instructor Tom.  Today was a day to go on the course and play a few holes.  Mac did great as usual.  A little distracted, however, by Mitchell running all over the place and rolling and flopping!  On the last hole, Mitchell actually asked to hit a ball and did!  Way to go Big Boy!  After golf it was off to Perfectly Frank hot dog joint.  Our regular night spot following golf.  Tonight was Lindsey as the server and Gary as the cook. As usual we sat at the counter and talked with Lindsey.  After, hot dogs, cheeseburgers, egg salad, bbq chips, onion rings, cookie and strawberry shake it was time to go…not before, however, Mac had to ask Gary what Hafnium plus Selenium was (add the atomic numbers of the elements – 72 + 36)!  What a nerd…Daddy really tries hard to keep him humble!  After the dogs and shake, it was off to home for bath and bed.  The boys did ok with a few hiccups.  Mac had to pee badly upon arrival to the house, but wouldn’t go upstairs to use the potty till daddy came up…but daddy had to answer the phone from the AC people (no AC this weekend and it will be in the 90’s – ugh).  Mac didn’t quite make it to the potty.  I’ll clean the mess before Tina comes home Sunday.  After the bath (Mac was so helpful getting the room ready for after the bath), it was to bed right away with no reading.  Mac did read a little to Daddy, and Mitchell had a little trouble getting to sleep.  Daddy laid down with Mitchell till he fell asleep around 10pm.   Good night boys!
