WMA, Part 4

OK, just got the kids to bed. Ryan's still crying and Elizabeth and Matthew are whispering in bed trying to keep me from hearing. (Elizabeth has been sleeping in Matt's room for a few months. They both seem to like it, and the incidence of them showing up in our bed in the middle of the night has dwindled to zero.)

I think that Ryan finally gave up. However, now Roscoe thinks it's walk time since we usually go sometime shortly after I put the kids to bed. I'm sure he'll give up soon, as he usually does when Jeanne's not here.

Pizza for lunch, hot dogs for dinner. Kid shows most of the morning and video games for a couple hours this afternoon. Am I a great dad, or what? :-) The kids cleaned up their toys pretty well, but I had to hound them to do it. I finally threatened to get rid of "fun time" tomorrow.

Jeanne called just when I was starting to grill the hot dogs. Ryan was having a fit because I wouldn't let him out back and Matthew came out back even though I told him not to. Between Ryan crying and me yelling at Matt, I'm sure it sounded like chaos on the other end of the phone. Jeanne says she's having fun. I'm glad she didn't get rained out -- looked like she might earlier.

I think I'll relax for a short while, watch a bit of TV, and hit the sack early. (Yeah, right...)
