another day at the office

jack has been really interested recently in going to work with me. when i leave for work in the mornings and afternoons he often says he's going to go to work, too. so i've been promising that if he really wants to go to work i would take him, but that he would have to get dressed up and bring his computer with him and really do some work.

so after a breakfast meeting yesterday morning, i picked him up at home and took him with me to my office. here is a picture of him next to 'his' parking spot.

i told him he could sit in daddy's chair for awhile and he really liked that idea. so i took a few pictures of him pretending to work.

he brought his 'computer' with him, in which he listened to dinosaur names and noises. he read books. he colored. he watched an educational video. he said hello to the senior pastor, the youth pastor and the secretary. he conned candy from some of them. he went to the bathroom. twice. he wrote on his face. and he got in trouble for jumping off the desk chairs. all in a day's work. as we were leaving he wanted his picture taken next to this bush thing that appears to be in bloom. it certainly didn't feel like spring yesterday, but i guess it is on its way...



the other day we drove by his babysitter's house and he told me that a'ndrea lives there. he said, "there's a'ndrea's house. she is my girlfriend. i like girls now. not when i was a baby, but i do now."
uh-oh.
this is going to be fun...
grace and peace,
greg.

he is going to be quite the stud :) and i think there might be an ounce of trouble in there as well :) my suggestion? if he is going to like girls already...teach how to do it right. you know, carry their books. shower them with sincere compliments. pull there hair. things like that :)but then again he is 3 yrs old....

Hey, that sounds like my job, too. My kids come to work with me everyday... they con me for candy and jump off anything that stands still long enough! They answer phones, too!

Anywho, that last picture is just too cute for words. love it!!!

And so it begins. By the way, he has always liked girls. Remember the "foot" episode? This should get interesting.

bad haircuts (for a laugh)

everybody needs to laugh.  one good way i have found to make that happen is to do a simple google image search for 'bad haircut.'  when you do so, some of the following gems show up.  thankfully, my 9th grade school picture does NOT show up.  otherwise, it would certianly make this list!  please laugh freely and without inhibition.  thank you and have a nice day. 

happiness is dry underwear

we started potty training jack on thursday. we followed a program called POTTY TRAIN IN ONE DAY, which, by the way, i think is kind of crazy. i mean, if someone were to offer you a book called, "ACHIEVE WORLD PEACE IN ONE DAY" i don't think you would take it seriously. and yet here we are, trying to accomplish an equally daunting task in one 24-hour period. it is intense. the day is shrouded in a lie because as soon as your happily diapered child wakes up you tell him that it is a big party. we had balloons and streamers and noisemakers and silly string - all the trappings of a legitimate party. but it is most certainly not a party. it is a hellishly exhausting day. as soon as jack got out of bed, we gave him a present: an anatomically correct doll that wets himself. jack named him quincy. several times quincy successfully peed in the potty and even had an accident or two in his "big boy underwear." he also dropped a deuce that looked and smelled sus...

i'm giving away the swamp

so this is a collage called swamp. i made it in february of last year. it is currently framed in a homemade, hand-painted frame. it is paper collage on a book binding panel. it is 7" x 10". and i am giving it away. i've been wanting to have a blog giveaway for some time, and the time has finally arrived. here's how it works. all you need to do is leave a comment on this post. by leaving a comment you are automatically entered into the contest (as long as your comment offers a way for me to get in touch with you, or you know that i know you). the contest will be open until next wednesday at noon, eastern standard time. at that time the contest will officially be closed and i will pick a random number. the person whose comment matches that number wins! for example, if i happen to pick the number 33, the thirty-third comment will win. oh, and one more rule: you can only post ONCE. if you win, i will send you the collage, signed by me, the artist, free of c...
