My Poor Blog

June 1, 2009

Oh my poor little blog. How I have neglected it lately! It’s not really by choice, but things have become hectic around here. It probably sounds old, but with work and the kids now doing something damn near every night, time for Mr Papa’s World has been limited. I have managed to do little “Quick Thoughts” blurbs in the sidebar, but that doesn’t really count. Those “Quick Thoughts” get cross posted on Facebook and Twitter and most folks respond to them there since there isn’t any kind of notification about a new post here at Mr Papa’s World.

Being June now, I hope to try to post more about the family happenings. We sure are busy enough to blog about something!

Oh, to get it started, Sean’s baseball team won their second game of the season last weekend. It goes along with their 15 or 16 losses unfortunately. It was a nail biter, as they entered the final inning up 13 – 6, but had to hang on for a final score of 13 – 12. We also received word that the team is going to fore go the playoff system this year and instead just play games. So, that means baseball games up until about the end of July. At two or three games a week, that makes for a hefty season. The heat is already high around here, so luckily, all games will be at night. The season should finish up just in time for football practice to begin for Sean.

This weekend, we have Savannah’s Summer Dance Recital. It’s a two night affair – though I think Sean has a game one night – with Savannah doing like a dozen dances. I really need to do a post about her continued baking work. Until then…

Showstoppers Weekend Again

February 20, 2009

Well, sort of… It is time for the regional Showstopper dance competition weekend in Phoenix once again. However, Suzanne’s and Savannah’s dance studio has decided to not do Showstopper this year. I am not really sure why, but the studio is passing this year.

That doesn’t mean the girls are passing this year – at least for Regionals. Tomorrow morning, bright and early at 4:00 AM, Suzanne and Savannah will head out the door to drive up to Phoenix for the competition. They both are only doing their solos. Technically, they still represent the dance studio, but I think they are the only ones going. Suzanne will be doing a single song and dance while Savannah will be doing two dance solos.

Suzanne’s song and dance routine is at 8 AM on Saturday, so she will need to try to get fresh after the 2 or 2 1/2 hour drive in the morning. Both of Savannah’s song and dance routines are on Sunday. So, they will spend the night in Phoenix.

Sean and I will not be going this year since its just a couple of dances. We will stay home and have a guys weekend at home. That means plenty of video games this weekend!

Good luck to the Girls!
