I stayed up last night with the kids watching movies. I made it through Superman cartoons and then we started 'Clifford the Big Red Movie'. I hadn't seen it yet, while the kids seen it, like twice already. My daughter fell out and I wasn't much behind. My wife already hit the bed in the back. My son and I began the movie around 10 p.m., I think. I fell half a sleep during the movie and managed to half way wake up. My son wanted to watch,yet another movie. I said no-way, it's time for bed. I turned the tv off and staggered to bed. The lighted clock showed midnight and my son was still wide awake. Fortunately he didn't argue.

This morning, I put all the cash and checks for PTA fundraiser into the bank. I am uncomfortable with all that money and was glad to get it deposited. When I was back home I managed to finish mowing the yard and weedeat both mine and my neighbors. It took some time but both yards look good now. I finally put my attempted garden to rest. I managed to machette the weed-trees down and finish it off with the mower and weedeater.

Afterwards, shower and rest. I was able to play with the kiddos the rest of the day. And yes we watched the Clifford movie and I did get to see it this time. Anyone played the game Shooters? No its not a drinking game, rather a dice game. My wife played it way back before the kids and I pulled it out showing my 6 year old how to play. Needless to say, she beat me in every game. Pretty humilating to have to count her chips for her (due to her not knowing how), but she was the winner of the game every time. Oh well, we had fun.

I plan to watch the Passion of the Christ, tonight. My wife hasn't seen it at all and she wants to watch it alone. I will be interested in her take on it. If my wife watches it tonight, I will probably catch a much needed adult show, due to all the cartoons watched today with the kids.
