Dad Jokes R Us

Me: What do you want to eat?

C: Food. Oh wait, I've turned into Dad.
Me: ACK! Not another one!

D: I love you forever when you're in life
Me: You're not gonna love me when I'm no longer alive?
D: No, because then I can't find you.

Me (to D): You even have a St. Paddy's shirt to wear.
C: Didn't that used to be mine?
Me: Yep, you used to wear it as a kid. Er, when you were younger. You're still a kid.
C: No I'm not, I'm a ten-ager.

D: I found the Heart of Defeaty!

C (on DST): Feels weird getting up at 7. It feels like 6.

D: My new name is thunder bacon milkshake milkshake milkshake!

D: I didn't say hush because it means shut up, and is a bad word!

Me: (laughing) That's not quite how that works, buddy.  

Our new patio!

Proud of this kid ~ he was recognized in a school assembly this week, earning a Life Long Learner certificate (not the golden dustpan, lol) for his motivation and effort this last month. He's worked really hard ❤

(3/6) Work day for Dad & me, and school for the boys today.  I had a work event this evening, and didn't get home until just before it was time to put the twins to bed.   

"I Love My Mom ❤ 800" ~ meaning 800%

(3/7) Day off for me, and my day to work in the boys' classroom.  We kicked off the day by walking the dogs to drop the boys off, and then I came back once I had run them back home.

(3/8) Work day for me, day off for Dad, & school for the boys. 

(3/9) Work day for me, day off for Dad, & school for the boys. 

(3/10) Last hockey game of the season! Eagles won the 10U Bronze Championship ~ woot woot!  C's teacher even made it out to the game to see him play.  After the game, Dad brought C home, and then drove up to Nanan's to help her with a car issue.  They ended up going car shopping, and after a very long day, signed papers on a Kia Niro.  Yay!  C stayed over at a friend's house tonight, but the twinsies got to stay up late so they could check out her new car.

(3/11) Of course the twins would wake up at the new 7:30a after being up two hours late the night before, because why not?  I didn't change their clock last night, so told them they had to stay in their room until their clock turned to 7.  C came home mid-morning, and I let the kiddos play on screens while I caught a few more Zs.  I eventually made us all go outside to play.

(3/12) Ugh, the Monday after DST. Send coffee.  J complained of a stomach ache before going to school today, but he didn't have a fever.  I decided to chance it, and got called on my lunch break that he had gotten sick at school.  Poor bubs.  I brought him home, and he slept the afternoon away.  He was fine later, and was mad that he had slept through dinner.  Noodley had obedience class this evening, so C & Dad went off to that, while I had a quiet couple of hours to myself. 

(3/13) Work day for Dad & me.  J wasn't sure how his stomach was today, and was good with going back home and watching TV all day.  I dropped C & D at school & we drove back home to check J's temp. He was fine, so back to school we went. 

(3/14) Happy Pi Day! We're having some work done in our back yard beginning with the removal of our deck. The deck just is not standing up to the dog claws, so we decided on something a little more durable: concrete.  The workers had the deck mostly out by the time I left to work in the boys' classes.  J's class had a guest teacher this afternoon, and I worked with another twin mom. We took a good portion of the class out to work on various projects, tag-teamed, and got everyone's work done. Since everyone's day was a little rough, when the twins asked to go to Narbeck, I said yes and took the three of us out for a short hike.  It was the perfect thing to do before pi(E)!

(3/15) Work day for me, day off for Dad, and school for the boys.  

Leprechauns beneath the rainbow

(3/16) Work day for me, day off for Dad, and school for the boys.  Dad, C, and some friends went to fan appreciation night at the Silvertips. C scored a retired stick signed by Ethan O'Rourke!  Also today, our new concrete patio was poured.  It looks awesome!   

Dad made shepherd's pie

(3/17) Happy St. Paddy's Day!  The leprechauns left a few treats for the kiddos.  Nanan came to watch the twins this morning so we could go see Hamilton!  Opa treated us to tickets and it was amazing!  C was pretty put out that he "had to go see another play" at first, but by intermission had completely changed his mind.  We capped off a fun day in Seattle with dinner at Spuds.    

YUSSSSS!

Thanks Dad & Lori!

(3/18) C made me breakfast in bed this morning.  He made monkey bread (all by himself!), and it was delicious!  He was harping on D that he needed to eat before he could play screens (which is my rule), but I didn't know that D had gotten sick in the night.  Exceptions definitely made for sick tummies!  D was pretty miserable most of the day, and slept a good portion. After a long nap, he woke up and wanted to go outside, so we all went out for a short walk down to the playground.  

(3/19) Work day from home for me.  C stayed home sick today with the stomach bug. Dad ended up coming home not feeling so well too.  I took Noodle to his obedience class tonight where he failed heeling completely, but we got some solid work on sits and downs. Noodle does not understand Starbucks at all, and barked at the barista.  Silly pup! Needs some practice!

(3/20) Play day at work for me today!  We're saying goodbye to our CEO, and threw her a champagne brunch, and then she took us all bowling.  We're so going to miss her!  C felt better today, and was able to go back to school.  Dad stayed home today not feeling 100%, but better.  Dear plague, GO AWAY!

(3/21) The boys and I walked all the dogs to school today.  I walked the dog-boys home, and then turned around to go back to work in D's class.  It's conference week next week, so I helped out doing some testing this morning. Sarah ended up being home with a sick kiddo, so we got a walk in the sunshine after I was finished.  I came home for a brief stop, and then headed back to school to work in J's class.  The kids were putting together recordings for their conferences, and I helped them with taking a picture of their self portraits. So much cute!  C had an appointment after school today, and I thought that the twins and I would get to sneak out for a park run, but it started to rain.  Harrumph. 

(3/22) Work day for me, day off for Dad, and school for the boys. Dad made a delicious dinner of garlic honey drumsticks, which the boys so kindly offered to help me eat when I got home.  

(3/23) Work day for me, day off for Dad, and the boys only have a half day today.  They've been looking forward to that all week!
