Grandkids are a blessing

What to do for a three year old?

So my grandson turns three this week.  It is imperative for all kids to have cake on their birthday.  At least in my humble opinion it is imperative. Our grandson, like all grandchildren, is the brightest kid that turned three ever.  The cake you see above was really good, and was purchased from a major retail chain.  I have no sponsors, so there will be no mention of the name.

The suggestion to get a bounce house for a three year old's birthday party seemed ridiculous to me at first.  I have to admit I was wrong.  This baby provided entertainment for all the kids that lasted for several hours.  We only had one crash during the entire event.  We did have a baby cry for a little while.  Apparently he was not impressed by the flying bodies in the house. 

The other great event from the party was the gift opening ceremony.  My grandson never wants to tear the paper off the package.  I don't know where he gets that from.  So he carefully tries to remove the tape.  Observing this behavior is great.  Because everyone else wants to help him open it to see what he got.  For our grandson, he opened the first gift, and was done.  He immediately began playing with it and we could not get him to open the remaining gifts.  So Mom had to do it, and show him the gifts.  This was to not offend the other parents and guests.  

We had a great time with the family.  Again, Grandchildren our great.

Birthdays and New toys

Good evening folks.  I am coming to you live from my new toy.  My loving wife, provided me with a new MacBook Air.  I love this thing.  It is lightweight and much faster than my older mac. Why would she bestow onto me a new macbook air?  Because it was my birthday.  I am now another year older and closer to 40.

I think it is great.  My friends provided me with a great meals, fellowship and a great time.  One thing about getting older, we seem to eat a lot more.  I have been eating so much for the last week.  Well as life moves on, I will continue to post about our adventures through live.  There will be more vacation reviews and more road trip reports.  As a matter of fact, we will be traveling to meet up with some good friends in east Tennessee.  I am excited for the adventure and looking forward to the trip.

In addition I will be making an effort to visit more blogs and see what everyone is up to as this summer comes to an end.

Have a great day.

New Equipment

It has busy this past week or so.  Parents of Tronster were visiting in the DC area.  Its always fun and I enjoy the company.  Sunshine (My Wife) works way to hard when my family visits.  She works really hard cleaning the house and getting everything together for the family.  She never takes a break.  Sunshine did many things, but one of the best was setting up a party for my father and I for our birthday.  We were able to throw a birthday party for my Dad with his oldest friend in attendance.  It was a great success.  Thank you Sunshine.

In addition to the party for my Dad, my birthday was a few days away, and the party was fir me too.  It was awesome.  I got a new MACBOOK AIR.  As a matter of fact I am blogging from the couch right now with the new Air.

Completely awesome.

Thanks to Sunshine
