Halloween

Me and the kids dressed up for Halloween. The kids were Wonder Woman and Lion. This year, Mason dressed up as a scary lion. He took the red ribbon off his lion costume and wanted some blood on his teeth to show that he had been eating meat.

I went as Buckethead, the former guitar player for Guns and Roses. Even though the real Buckethead wears a mask from the movie Halloween and not Friday the 13th.

We had a pretty good time and the kids got a lot of candy. The night wasn’t too chilly, either, which was nice. Mason had wanted to be Godzilla, but changed his mind at the last minute back to the old lion standby.

Mason’s Church Lesson

On Sunday, we had to leave church early because Whitney wasn’t feeling too good. So on the way home, Mason, who usually responds to Sundays by saying “You know what my favorite part of Church is? Going home,” decided that we hadn’t had enough church yet.

So he decided to plan a lesson and teach us when we got back to the house. He spent all sorts of time preparing with his little flashcards he found, putting them onto the fridge with magnets, and thinking about things to talk about. He labeled each one of our chairs with our own name, so we even had assigned seating.

Anyway, he did a great job and even though the video is kind of long–at 23 minutes–it isn’t as long as staying for the rest of church would have been.

Van Halen Concert

Marty and I went to the Van Halen concert last night. It was really good. We we both surprised by how good David Lee Roth sounded after such a long layoff.

The worst part of the concert was the opening act. It was the worst opening act in the history of the world. It was reggae music for one thing. It may have been a decent band if they were playing in a park somewhere for free, but worthy of opening (more…)

Man vs. Pretty Unsurvivable Situation

When my family was gone to Idaho, I made a movie. It is a great adventure in the tradition of Survivorman and Man vs. Wild.

The only bad part is that I couldn’t figure out how to fit Reagan, or his voice, into the movie. Plus, it is 20 minutes long. I probably should have sold advertising in it and made it a full 30 minute show.

Camping in Virginia

While it was snowing in Idaho, we were camping out here. At about 7 o’clock last Friday night me and Heidi decided to go camping the next day. So I got on the Internet and tried to find a close place to camp. Both kids had soccer games on Saturday, so we wouldn’t be able to drive hours and hours for the trip.

After a few minutes, I found a close place: Westmoreland State Park, which is only about 65 miles away. So after the soccer games ended, we headed out.

We had a pretty nice little campsite. It was at the top of a hillside, and there was a really big tree that had gotten blown over down at the bottom of the hill. The vegetation was pretty thick and the kids played tigers, dinosaurs and other animals down there. I sneaked (more…)

masonhikingWe went for another hike in the backyard yesterday. Mason just grabbed a bag, packed some stuff in in and said, “Let’s go for a hike.” So we all went along with him. It was a really nice day, so it wasn’t hot or humid at all.

One of the things we found was an area in the forest where there were a lot of (more…)
