A GUYS WEEK

6/24--It's 10:30PM and Michele and Maggie just left for Newark, NJ. Once arriving in Newark, they catch a train to Philadelphia where Michele's brother Kirk will pick them up. There's more to their trip, but the reason for this entry is to capture the boys first time away from Mom. And my first time alone with them for an extended period of time.

Casey was still awake when they left, Indio was passed out cold. Within about 20 minutes Casey drifted off and it left me all alone at home for the first time since before we got married. It's weird, I feel like a batchlelor with 2 sleeping boys.

So the first thing I did was take all the laundry downstairs, moved the drying racks up stairs, picked up some toys, and opened a bottle of wine (only because I didn't have any beer). I called in to work already and left a message that I'd be a couple hours late. I'm going to let the boys sleep in and myself too (it may be needed depending on how much of this bottle I drink!)

Michele (and the kids of course) hooked me up with the new iPhone for Father's Day. I got it tonight so now it's time to figure it out. I'm pretty pumped about that. I'm laying down my Blackberry to rest. Wine, iPhone, house fiddling, etc. that is night #1 with no Mom or big Sister! Tomorrow nght I'll give the boys an education! It's Jean Claude Van Damme, Steven Seagual, Arnie, Sly, and Eastwood movies, maybe a little UFC thrown in the mix. It's time to grow these boys up! More later.
