He Is Risen

Or is it has risen...Anyhow, Jesus came back today. Sorry My Gym was closed, but you still got to play at the park with Mommy. Maybe you can go see Miss Sana tomorrow with Mommy or I can possibly take you Tuesday. Glad we already did an Easter Egg hunt yesterday so we can not worry too much about having one today. Maybe we can just share eggs with your cousins, but not actually do a hunt...

Today is your last day of being the only kid in the house for a week. Please don't tell our guests to go home. Be nice okay? I know you've been enjoying candy the last few days, but we're going to have to get back on track now. Candy will be done soon and just a treat. Sorry you can't nap today, but you don't like napping or sleeping anyway. Some day I'm going to tell you how hard it was to make you sleep...

Easter Vigil

And Adriana's baptism. It was also the Easter Egg hunt for your jiu jitsu gym. Sorry we got there early and had to leave before winning the raffle. We'll plan better next time. It was a good time though. Although I was surprised you didn't want to get your face painted. I hope you take time and your use of time seriously when you get older. I hope you don't waste your own time or others.

I know you may have felt that sitting in Church today for 4 hours was a waste of time, but you got to see some of your Aunties and Uncles today. You got to share in the celebration for Adriana. And you got to get church done so you have more time to not go to church tomorrow. And mommy was probably super happy we went. I'm tired. I need a nap, but we have a few things to do today....

Good Friday

Sorry church today took ages. At least mommy was happy that you kissed the cross (I thought you were kissing feet...). Anyhow, enjoy not having to starve or refrain from meat while you can. Some day soon, you'll have to suffer like us (not like the hypocrites on the street who have already received their reward). Did you have fund have fun on today's episode of Daddy Day Care?

This time next week we're gonna have a full house. Remember to enjoy it while you can. Your cousin and uncle and aunty are only here a short time. Your grandparents from the East Coast will be here a little longer. I would say you'll see them again in a few weeks, but that will be a short trip. I wonder if you know what died/killed means. Jesus was killed today, but don't worry, he's coming back. However, please note, that most things that die or get killed don't come back. So don't kill or die anything.

Holy Thursday

I'm taking a break from work to blog. Not sure how much time I'll have tonight since we're going to mass and then you gotta eat dinner and we got the whole evening activities...Do you know where this photo came from? I have no idea. If you took it, that's pretty good...Anyhow, just a reminder that life is a little what happens to you, and a lot what you make of it. Resources are limited and how you use them is reflective of you and your priorities.

As you get older, you'll get more choices and freedom. I hope that we do a good job of providing you the upbringing to help you make the most of your life and opportunities. That being said, I'll start prioritizing my health and wellbeing so that I can be around for you as long as you want me. 

April Fools

Today was no joke or laughing matter. I had a lot to do at work. Aunty Lorraine is on vacation. Look who's still taking photos. Your lunch photo on Sundays was better. It's Hump Day today and we're almost to Easter. Sorry mommy is making us go to church extra this week, but I'll go so you don't have to be alone...

I was really disappointed with you today at Sam's Club. My reaction was probably multiplied by my frustration with the workers and for that I'm sorry. I do need you to remember to keep your shoes on outside the house and off inside the house. In both cases, there are exceptions. If you need one, ask. Like the beach...

 

Farmworkers' Day

Did you have a good Farmworkers' Day? Who knows what it might be called next year. I got to golf and it wasn't bad. I was gonna pick you up earlier today, but I had to go to the casino with Uncle Peter...I was cleaning my golf clubs today and you asked if you can go golfing with you Thursday. Maybe we'll go, but you have to listen so you don't get hurt.

It rained today and will probably rain tomorrow. Luckily, you were able to stay dry at drop-off and pick up. Sorry you weren't the winner, but you were 2nd place for coming and going. It's Holy Week. Not sure there's a Holy Monday or Tuesday, but the days are counting down until Jesus comes back. I'm going to try really hard to be the best me I can be so that I can be the best father to you I can be. I'm going to need you to help though. Not sure when you'll be able to work on your emotional intelligence, but I hope it's soon. Regulating and control our your emotions will serve you well in life.

Manic Mondays

Plus you got a haircut. And they cancelled swimming...You are getting good at getting haircuts. You still need work on not saying everything you think. But that probably won't come for a while. You said the neighbor boy's mouth was dirty...He had cheese stains, probably just ate Cheetos or something...

Not that you weren't cute before, but now you're all stylish with your new do. Imagine how cute you'd be if we styled your hair and cared what clothes we dress you in? That's probably too much. I'll let you stay undercover cute for now. Sorry I can't stay home with you tomorrow. I have to celebrate Farm Workers Days with my coworkers. I'll pick you up early and we can eat dinner with mommy. She said she wants tacos. Don't worry, we'll eat at home so you can eat something else :)
