Tip of the day: Just because somebody speaks Spanish doesn't mean they are from Mexico. But most likely.
- Taylor's Birthday was on Saturday. The birthday party was at pump it up and there were quite a few kids. I got pretty tired chasing kids around and knocking them over. (PUMP IT UP has two rooms full of giant inflatable Stuff kids can fall, slide and play on)
- All went really smooth, Taylor got good gifts including little kid video game stuff, a bike, a robotic dog, some movies. Although I think he liked the balloons the best. Just playing with the kids was probably my favorite part.
- Went to my parents Sunday Morning and came back to the house Sunday around 11 excited to watch some football and chill out had been a hectic couple days. When I got home my girlfriend was into some heavy duty cleaning. DAMN IT. I knew it was going to be trouble. She was ready to clean I wasn't, the apartment is way to small to sit while somebody cleans. So we got into a fight and I ended up watching football back at my parents house.
- Football is good
- The kids were kind of driving me nuts on Sunday and so I decided to take them to Chuck E Cheese later that day to get out some of their energy. DISASTER. It must have been some kind of Mexican Holiday (I will have to look that up) since I was the only person in there besides the workers who didn't speak Spanish. Took a while to get a table and having four kids by myself was a little nerve racking but it all ended up being OK. The kids had a lot of fun although I was kind of pissed when I was waiting in line for a while to order our cardboard cheese (that is what passes for pizza at "The Chuck") and some tokens. I am not 100 percent sure what happened but right when I was about to step up to the kid friendly counter the woman at the counter quit her job. This left me pretty pissed off and I made sure they knew it and ushered me to the front of another line. It was like a joke there. That is what happens I am sure when you have such young kids working at a place like that. Maybe she was frustrated because she didn't understand Spanish but that is just my guess, all I know is it was a long day.

Slow week
Tip: Sometimes the hassle of cooking and cleaning are better then taking the kids out to eat at a restaraunt.
- Girlfriend and I are doing a lot better, which is good. Just some problems the way I dealt with my ex wife. I believe I changed all that.
- Played poker this weekend with my friends. I won both games, it was fun for me. All the people were fun so it was cool. There was a lot of unlady like belching from one woman at the table, disgusting. I got pocket Aces 4 times and pocket Kings about 5 times, so the cards were definitely there for me. Girlfriend and some friends went down to the bar after the game; they seemed to have a lot of fun. I didn't go because I was too busy WINNING.
- My nephew had a basketball game this weekend. I help along with his team so I was there, it was fun they demolished the other team. My nephew didn't score any points but he did have an assist and skipped up and down the court for two quarters. He also had a couple ballet spins which were great. He is not very aggressive but he is actually not horrible, his skipping was because he thought he was supposed to sidestep the whole time like you do on defense. It would have been pretty funny if he wasn't my nephew, but he is a great kid.
- I saw the Adam Sandler movie "I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry". I was disappointed it just was not very funny. Adam Sandler sure makes shitty movies now. Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison are all time favorites but man "Click", "Little Nicky" and this one are just rough to watch.
- The girls are doing great, they enjoyed the basketball game and I can't wait till they can play. We had a good weekend just hanging out, went to the park ate at IHOP. They were pretty good at the restaurant, I had them play "the who can be quieter game" and they liked that and I loved that they liked it. The place kind of screwed Lauren out of her meal, they took forever and then only brought out half her meal. Then they had to bring out the other half a little bit later, tough to keep 3 kids occupied when the restaurant is F#$king things up. I won't name the restaurant but it sounds like International House of Pancakes (IHOP on federal way in Boise Idaho)

Boise State MVP Day
Tip of the day: 1. You will make mistakes all the time, (at least I do) some are big some are small. Learn from them.
2. Tater tots really are delicious
- My Girlfriend is more pissed at me now. I found out what I did and it is not cool at all. A definite mistake that I made and will have to learn from (see the tip of the day). I really do hope she forgives me.
- Took my nephew and niece to a BSU game this weekend, Boise St had some special day a lot of the children organizations in the area like YMCA, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Good Samaritans, etc.... This was for youths who needed help or felt disenfranchised. I don't think my nephew and niece apply but it was fun anyway.
- They had some no name players in the beginning sign autographs, just freshman and players who weren't going to play. We then got to run out on the field in front of 30,000 fans right before the team did. We got hot dogs that were disgusting and my nephew and niece wouldn't eat them. Hot Dog meat is already questionable but this was horrendous. A group of Muslim kids from CATCH! (not sure what that is and haven't looked it up yet, and I won't) were upset because nobody could tell them if there was pork in the hot dogs. They can't eat pork for religious regions. I could almost guarantee them there wasn't pork or beef in these things, but I didn't want to get involved.
-We then came back inside and got to watch the game on a giant screen TV in the indoor practice facility. Too bad the glare through the windows made it hard to watch the Giant TV.
They had four giant bouncy houses, face painting and kids playing football all over the place. The basketball team came in and signed autographs as well as the gymnastic teams.
- Jazzy only let one football player sign her t shirt, I think she liked him. Damon got everybody to sign his t - shirt, that was very important to him. I don't think he even knew what the final score was of the game. They provided pizza for everybody which was good and gave the kids a lot of ra ra inspirational speeches about staying off drugs and staying school.
- They got gift bags on the way out with coloring books and other stuff (I didn't really look in it, was tired by this time). It was a long day that started at 10 and ended around 6. The kids had a good time so that was great. But I feel really sick.

Chuck E Cheese and Trouble
TIP OF THE DAY - 1. Don't let your kids play with your wallet, they might lose your license.
2. When going to Chuck E Cheese don't eat the pizza unless you are starving. It isn't really made for human consumption.
- So today was a pretty shitty day. I got up and my girlfriend was mad at me. I could tell by the delicate way she shut the door when she left for work then came back in because she forgot something and delicately shut the door again. (sarcasm, just in case you don't get it) Not exactly sure why, but that happens sometime. I am a guy and surely f#$ked up somewhere. Even though I won't see it till it is pointed out to me and I wont really understand but will genuinely feel bad anyway and try not to do it again. Unknowing, unrelenting guilt is the price every man pays when they love a woman. As a kid from your mom or as a man from your significant other, unless you don't care about them then you should be guilt free.
- I had to go get some money from the bank and the girls were playing with my wallet earlier in the day. I dropped Lily off at Kindergarten and headed to the bank. When I got there to withdrawal some money I didn't have my drivers license in my wallet. I searched through my wallet and couldn't find it. Great, I was supposed to meet my girlfriend for lunch but now I had to run home and find my wallet. I tried to get the money out of the ATM and it let me get more then I thought and I was able to get enough. I still didn't have time to meet my girlfriend for lunch since it was early release day at Lily's school. I am sure that scored me some more points.
- I picked Lily up at school and started grilling her about my drivers license. She didn't remember taking it and I wasn't very happy. I told her we would go to Chuck E Cheese but first we had to find my license. She started crying and I started getting more mad. I tried to explain to her how important licenses are. She didn't get it, I took them home and we searched for the license. HMMMMMMM. It was in my daughter's jeans, great. She took it to school. Funny because it is not a good picture of her dad. I am huge in that picture: (Just imagine the fattest most pathetic elephant seal and put a goatee on it and that would be my Texas Drivers License picture)
(Hey it is Kenny's License Pic)- We then hung out during the day and watched Spider Man 3. A good movie, a little too much Mary Jane story line, but fits in line with the other two nicely and the "bad guys" were done very well. I was worried introducing that many "bad guys" (Venom, Sandman and Green Goblin) but they didn't it really well. Best movie I have seen in a while which isn't saying much for Spiderman 3 as it is saying for the quality of movies I have seen lately. Although 1408 was good for the first half but like most scary movies the second half was disappointing.
-I then took Taylor, Lily and Mia to Chuck E Cheese, my sister showed up with Damon and Jazzy and then Lauren showed up. They seemed to have a good time. The kids are funny because they just toss tokens into machines and walk away. Mia and Taylor got on a monster truck and rode with some kid as he tossed about 5 dollars in the thing. They just got a free rides, finally the kids mom put a stop to it and convinced him to do something else. I think Mia and Taylor were bummed. The best T shirt I have ever seen at Chuck E Cheese (and the ballsiest):

Just cause you are wearing a mask.......
JUST A THOUGHT AND TIP - How come people in masks think they can talk to you when you are trick or treating. I just want to take my kids trick or treating. Not talk to some 40 year old World of War Craft playing, mom's basement living, jolt drinkings, star wars loving, no kid having jack ass trying to scare me or my kids. To handle these a$$holes just pull their mask off and laugh. That brings them back to their tortured childhood and they should run screaming, or you can just kick them square in the .............
....
- The girls dressed as fairies one was pink and one was blue. The boys dressed up as pirates and Lauren did a good job with the costumes. They were all very excited and Taylor kept repeating "give me your gold" over and over and over and over and over and .... you get the point.
-Lauren and I took the three youngest kids (all under three) They were very cute with their little trick or treats and thank yous. A lot of nice comments from people about their costumes.
- My sister took my oldest daughter and her son since they were going to tear through the houses. When I was done I got a hold of my sister and asked her where she was. She told me where she was so I parked the van on the street figuring I would run a couple hundred feet catch up with them and head back to the van. Of course not, after 3 phone calls and changing directions twice I finally was able to catch up to my daughter and bring her back to the van so we could go home.
- Lots of good candies. All brand names Hershey's brands and no apples or generic taffy's or peppermint candies. Quite a few whole candy bars. Life is so much better now then when I was a kid.
