Week 229: Father’s Day, Potty, and Paper

Quick update this week. Mostly pictures. What with gas being $4 a gallon and all.

Father’s Day was last weekend, and I had a GREAT time of it. Besides a couple of nice shirts, Geralyn’s main gift to me was on Saturday to gather up the various children living in our house and take them away for many hours. I then sat down in the basement and played video games all day, ate whatever I wanted, and took myself out to a summer action flick in the afternoon. It was AWESOME. This was all in reciprocation for my Mother’s Day gift to Ger, which had me watching the kids while she went to a 12-hour scrapbooking jamboree. I sense a pair of annual traditions developing here…

You may have noticed that Mandy is starting to show interest in the potty. We got out the little plastic training potties, which really got her excited for some reason. She’ll just stand there pointing at it, shouting “POTTY! POTTY!” over and over again. This shall, I think, be the last thing I ever write here about her toilet training, except to say that she needs to learn a little moderation when it comes to unspooling the toilet paper.
