Day 1

Rest easy. The kids are healthy and surviving Fall 2011 Dad Weekend 1. The Blogfather also budgeted time to capture indisputable evidence of children thriving and communicating messages to the Blogmother.

8:40 AM: After a hearty breakfast and 5 attempts at securing Molly's barrette properly, the children eagerly volunteered to participate in a propaganda video countering perceptions about the Blogfather's preference for tardiness. Peer pressure associated with delivering children late to school is just too overwhleming, even for the Blogfather:

10:00 AM: Jack shows the Blogfather his current favorite playground spot - the tennis court.



5:30 PM: Only 30 minutes after an involuntary end to an unplanned late afternoon nap, Molly encourages the Blogmother to have fun - have no concerns, Blogmother:

5:40 PM: Grover crosses Jack's line. Or Jack shows Grover how to jump up and down on the stairs. The blogfather would prefer believing the latter, but the normally mild-mannered Jack seems unusually forceful with Grover and is placed under anger management watch for the weekend.

Bad Grover?

7:10 PM: After a 20-minute battle with his nose and mouth, Jack dislodges spaghetti stuck somewhere in his nose. No picture - however you imagine this is exactly what happened.

Stay tuned for more this weekend, including NFL Sunday Family Time (graciously hosted by the Blogfather) and Escape to Uncle Eric's, which could occur without notice at any time.
