Ahhh! Thoughts!
Okay..I know I didn't post about my lovely outing with the hot pregnant lady. I typed up 3 words, got distracted and then when I finally had time hours later, I was too tired to write anything.
We had a great day! Well aside from the lack of sleep I was suffering before it. Coffee made it all better..the promise of coffee made it even more...better...
Took the kids to McDonalds for an early lunch. Generally..not the best food, but was great for the kids. My son of course, decided that he would rather play all the time than eat, but that was okay. Happy meals come in a bag for a reason! Maven's two kids were wonderful angels in McDs.
Then we headed across the parking lot to the grocery store for some snacks for the afternoon. (Heh heh..I had her now..she wasn't getting away from me for hours!). Something I have learned long ago. Even if I am getting 1 item, take a cart. Place kid in cart. Less headaches. So..my boy happily munched on his forgotten meal, while sitting in the cart, which left us just two to watch (not too bad really). 'Gutsy' wanted to help, so we let him pick out some juice. It went well in my book.
Then the long awaited and long adored coffee. (Okay, wasn't that long, but..when you are talking coffee...it was long enough.) We had decided on Fourbucks. I had said I would pay previously. She resisted as I had bought the snacks. I handed her a $5 with the justification that "If we are going to Fourbucks, then that pays for mine and you have a buck to go towards yours!" Wonderful woman she is..but I am by far more hard headed than she. (Probably why I get along with her so well and love her muchly)
To my awfully messy apartment we went for towels, blanket, sunscreen and all the much needed paraphenalia required to occupy 3 kids and 2 adults, which turned into 3 adults as the man decided to come along. The Maven, bless her everyloving heart, said nary a word about the state of disarray. Cooler found (for all the goodies), outside toys gathered, we trekked out..the 2 minute walk to the park beside our building.
The nice thing about the park by my building is it has a water...thing... Not entirely sure what the proper term for it is. We will just call it the 'rainbow of happy children' (It's shaped like a rainbow). Kids play, kids have fun, kids play some more, kids get tired, parents chat, parents chase kids....who knew a pregnant lady could shuffle so fast! At the end..we had a bunch of tired kids, a bunch of tired adults and a wonderful day.
It was great and I am definately going to do this again sometime.
Book status: Somewhere on the way to Whitebridge
Intellectual thoughts: Blue collar comedy tour and Atlantis (duh..*points to title* Actually..a friend has reacquainted himself with his passion for it, which has reinstigated mine. Fun times!)

I love being a grandfather as you love yours, kids are great.
Hey! How did I miss this post? I swear I've checked in since you wrote this. D'oh!
It was a very wonderful day. We're going to have to do it again very soon before it gets too cold and the gremz start school. Perhaps next week?
