What a beautiful Saturday in the South! I woke up this morning around 7:15 (way late for me) and went through my daily routine of making coffee and checking out the news on T.V. Jackson was up quickly after me and I wondered for about 10 seconds why he was up so early. Jackson got the new Star Wars game for his PSP yesterday and he needed to start playing it early so he could finish it in a day and a half. So he quietly settled down in his "play chair", hooked up his headphones so I could hear the television and began his quest. Soon after that, Jules arose just in time to order us up two cups of coffee. Perhaps the most underrated part of the day is the first sip of coffee in the morning. For that one moment, all is right in the world. Peace in the Middle East, gas prices at $1.50, money in the bank account, no screaming kids. That's about as far as I got until I heard the first scream from the Terminator! Well at least I had that.
Little Nathan was in pure form from the get go. He needed a snack so we gave him a small bowl of Lucky Charms. He proceeded to dump them all over the couch so we picked them up. He got a hold of them again and dumped them into his toy bus on the floor. Then came the lego box. Dumped all over the floor. Then came the vacuum cleaner hose. Pulled out, thrown around, and then the container which holds the hose was thrown on the floor. All the while, little Nathan smiled that sinister little smile that says "I am too cute for you." It was going to be one of those mornings after all. Well at least I could put on the golf and try to relax to that. Of course nothing is that simple. Our local NBC affiliate was experiencing technical difficulties and was unable to produce any sound at all. Can I get a mulligan????
So I just started getting busy with the Saturday chores. Vacuum all of the floors, then grab the mop and get to mopping the wood floors. That was hard work but wow did they need it. I felt pretty good about it and really didn't miss watching the golf after all.
So the house is clean (mostly) and Nathan is now napping. Jackson has finished his quest, and the sound is restored for the golf match. There must be peace in the Middle East now! Ha! So now I can relax for the rest of the afternoon and surf the net, blog, watch golf, football or whatever. Damn, I'm bored.

Whats that song by Phil Vasser? "Just another day in paradise". Life is busier, crazier, but so much fuller with Terminator and Jackson. The floors DO look beautiful!
Just think, sooner than we even realize they'll both be out and about at friends house and not home on Saturday mornings and we'll miss the chaos.
Ahh, coffee and Lucky Charms, the simple things in life. Love them both, but I'll pass on the screetching Terminater. I had my own excitement this morning that I will blog about tomorrow morning.
What, no golfing today? I'm sure as soon as Nater woke up he took care of any boredom you may have been suffering from. lol
Miss the chaos? Coffee and Fox & Friends.....a small antidote to chaos.

Hey Bry...if you are bored, I have a twenty year old I can send your way....he makes for some excitment too! :-) And while really cute, he is WAY TOO old for the terrible twos.
You crack me up bro! Can you come and clean my house? I've never once seen Mike pick up a mop or get up that early if he didn't have to! You got something good out of mom and dad!
