Florida may have hot summers, but at least the sun is shining which equals vitamin D which equals no seasonal moodiness. This is technically our second Winter in Georgia, but the first was endured with a newborn and a toddler so no matter our location we were destined to be crazy. Georgia requires much more ingenuity in terms of parenting than I am accustomed to. The volume of rain this state endures is unbelievable. And a 3 year old requires much more creativity than I have ever mustered. There's role playing, preschool skills, where not to wipe your boogers and when not to touch your penis (which I wish I could say was never appropriate, but those with boys know 'tis better to have "penis touching safe-zones" than to try and ban this behavior altogether.)
We recently discovered a winner of a joint called Stars and Strikes. Basically a better-than-your-average strip center bowling alley with a full arcade. In 3 years this place will be gold to us. Give the kids some cash and send them off for some pop a shot and air hockey while Pete and I chug beers over fried cheese thingys and a competitive game of bowling. For this past weekend it served as a place to escape the wet, cold winter days.

| Skee Ball always a winner. Unless you happen to be standing in the lane next to us. Then always mind your head. |

| For several of the highly illuminated contraptions you needn't even put in any tokens to entertain our children. |
 |
| We did pay this beast. And it was worth it. |
Back at the ranch this afternoon we took full advantage of the only lightly misting, overcast, 50 degree afternoon to go on some important missions.
 |
| Like wielding sharp pointy screwdrivers around logs and rocks where one might trip and poke an eye out. |
 |
| Discovering additional terminology for deer poop - aka "scat" and illuminating it with your batman flashlight |

And of course casting magical spells using our newest favorite phrase, "Abra-cadabra, Ala-kazam"
I think basically he is trying to turn me into a fire breathing dragon so I will chase him around endlessly.
Keep trying kid. |
