12 of 12 – Apr 2009
I managed to get as 12 of 12 done! Don’t know if these are the most exciting pictures, but I snagged a few good family ones. If you don’t know what 12 of 12 is, it was started by Chad Darnell where you take 12 pictures of your day on the 12th of every month and post them up for the world to see! If you want to see these in Gallery2 form, click here.
The day started early as I got to the gym sometime after 5am. I got some swimming in early but things took a turn downhill as I did some rehab on my knees… Walking backwards at .8 mph. And no, that’s not a typo. .8 mph.
My oldest one’s godfather wanted to come over and give him a proper Easter by hiding eggs all around the house. He had a blast eating a TON of peanut butter M&Ms. Later in the day he ended up going sugar crazy but that’s another story I suppose.
The wife decided that the small Easter Egg hunt would become a family affair so she invited her parents and grandparents over which you see in a lot of these pictures.
He took a pause to check out what was happening to good ol’ Vinnie Mac. What does it say when this kind of stuff is aired on ESPN?
This is guy who brought over all the goodies and made his godson’s morning!
So my brother-in-law was trying to hook up a DVD player to an old TV that didn’t have composite input. So I suggested doing the ol DVD to VCR to TV trick and it almost worked… He could get audio but not video. With some checking here and there, we could get a channel of video from component so we think it’s not putting out anything on the video composite output. Now if he can find the remote for the DVD player, we can see if there’s an option for that.
We eventually would make our way to the in-laws’ house sans my oldest who we left with my parents (he didn’t want to leave my parents house because they had trains). So at the dinner table at the in-laws, the baby I guess figured out that this was his time to shine and was just smiling like a lunatic!
I will sell this print for $49.99 thru PayPal.
One of the things the wife was most excited about was seeing her best friend in the whole entire world. One of the things I was not excited about was seeing her best friend in the whole entire world. haha
When he’s asleep, everything is right in my world.
When you’re so happy over something, sometimes it requires more than one picture!
Usually during holidays I end up baking something and this one was no exception. Cherry cheesecake for everyone!

Damn Bush you were down the gym at 5AM?!?! Now that’s committed! And in other news…you should be!

@Angela – Hey thanks! I guess you make comments like that when yours truly isn’t in any of the pictures huh? (#):D
@Pete – HA HA HA. Oh, it’s true it’s true… It’s damn true. Worst part is, I have a race coming up in like 3 weeks. It’s only a 5K but it’s going to be PAINFUL.

I’m with Pete – I don’t care how dedicated to something I am. The only way I see 5 am willingly is if I’m still up for some reason (and that hasn’t happened in years!)
Nice 12!

@Chris – You know with the kids, that’s the ONLY time I’ve been able to find to get there! Thanks for stopping by!

Don’t listen to them… there’s nothing wrong with being at the gym at 5 am. I’m at work by 5 all summer long. Besides, it looks like that may be the only time you get to yourself.

@Hibe AKA Gary – Thanks for the support. I tried going to the gym this morning, but my oldest thwarted my efforts again by getting up at 5:15AM. ARrgggggh

I know of only one 5 o’clock in the day, and that’s hometime
But go you for even entertaining the thought of the gym at that time!

Hey thanks Helen, and I believe I will try and entertain that thought tomorrow morning too!
