We went on a cabin weekend with some friends and their families. James to one of the older boys, "Do you know my name?"
Older boy puzzled, "Yeah, it's James."
James with conviction, "No! Today my name is DARTH VADER!!"

At the playground. Sara yelling to the boys on the play structure, "If you want to take off your hats, you can. You just have to bring them to me."
James excited, "I want to take off my pants!"
Sara, "No, HATS. If you want to take off your HATS, you can."

Sara, "No, HATS. If you want to take off your HATS, you can."

Is it wrong if it feels so right?

Today is a good day. I just had a call from a telemarketer. Did I yell and scream at them, you ask? Certainly not. Like a good IT administrator I put my skills to use for their benefit. Here's how the conversation went:
Computer: "Press 9 to not be contacted in the future. Press 4 to speak to someone about your mortgage issues"
TM: "Hello, are you having problems paying your mortgage?"
Me: "Hi, this is the IT department. We intercepted your call as we detected a problem with you phone and need to fix it."
TM: "Oh... ok, well what do we need to do?"
Me: "We're going to need to fix the settings by pressing 4-6-8 and * at the same time"
TM: "Ok, nothing happened."
Me: "Are you using the new Polycom phones that we deployed?"
TM: "No, it's a Yealink"
Me: "Ok, I see. You haven't had the new Polycom phone deployed to your desk yet. Let me check our technical documentations for the Yealink."
Me: "Alright, do you see an "OK" button on your phone?"
TM: "Yes I do"
Me: "Alright, you're going to press and hold that button for 10 seconds."
TM: "OK, pressing it now"
Me: "Perfect, let me know if you get a password request"
TM: "OK, nothing has popped up ye----"
That's right. I made a telemarketer unwittingly factory reset his phone which means he will be unable to make anymore calls until someone is able to reconfigure his phone and that will take at least an hour or longer if they can't do it right away!

Lego regularly washing up on the beach is neat. The fact that that Lego is maritime themed is proof that there is a God and he wants you to know that everything is awesome.

Liam is a really easy going baby, but when he laughs when I try to put a soother in his mouth at 3 o'clock at night, that's not really easy going I was hoping for.

Walked the boys to school today. James exhibiting his unique fashion sense as always.

Nate made me a card for Father's Day.
Nate made me a card for Father's Day. Before I opened it, he noted that it was a very "manly" card. On it, drawings of boy faeries and boy ponies. I guess it goes with the pastel pink pot he made for me.
When I went to put the pot away, I noted, "I'm going to put this somewhere safe so it doesn't break." James immediately, "Yeah, that's good, that way I can't reach it."
