Grumpy Old Man - digg this
The above are some little critters that my wife and youngest daughter made this morning. I can only imagine how much fun that was. K3 is three and miiighty cute.
So this past weekend Leigh was working and I was alone with the kids. I was apparently pretty grumpy about it too. I told the kids to go off and play on their own and so they did. They would periodically check in and I would thunder at them to go in their rooms or outside, anywhere just so I could vegetate.
Seeing the above picture reminds me that when I do stuff like retreat into my grumpy old man mode, I miss so much. Now, making aliens or play-dough snow men probably isn't on the same level as attending soccer games/school plays/weddings. I don't think that because of that one Saturday my kids will require years of intensive therapy. Still, my kids won't be this little forever. In fact I'm pretty sure that if I squinted I could actually see them grow in real time.
Thus, while I'm not big on resolutions I will say that one thing I'd like to be in this coming new year is less of a GOM and more of a play-dough alien builder.
